    Hello good people,

    At first glance I thought it was some type of WMF stamp (they have quite a few) but then I was confused :bored::bored::bored:

    Any ideas?

    Yeah sorry I should have posted what it is first (as I always do)...I was very confused with the stamp so it happened :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    It should be a bottle holder :bookworm:

    Here it is:

    Gorgeous. It certainly looks Jugendstil, but there were many manufacturers.

    Just a hunch, but I am wondering if this might be some version of a Weiner Werkstatte metal workers mark.

    I spent a while last night trying to find examples of the different metal workers from Weiner Werkstatte and did not have much luck. Just thought I would mention it in case it might be so, but I sure hope it's not a wild goose chase chase.

    In any case it looks very Art Nouveau and I think it's very pretty.

    Wiener, from Wien, German (Austrian) for Vienna.;)
    The German word Weiner means weeper, someone who weeps or cries.:oops:
