early 20th century mark on crystal & silver vase

The maker's mark is crudely made, but the manufacturing standards for the piece are high. Hoping to learn the maker's name.

Thanks, Tom

Hi all - Tom, do You feel this could be a badly punched Deyhle mark ? Best wishes, Bahner

Hi Bahner,
No, I don't think so, the mark is very clearly punched. If it is a Deyhle mark, it was used after the diestamp itself had received much abuse. However, if it is a damaged stamp, perhaps it is the mark of Gebruder Kuhne?
I will take a better and larger photo of it, but cannot post it until next week.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Regards, Tom

Hi all, Kühn (by the way: it's Kühn, not Kühne) certainly is another possibility. It could also be Gebrüder (Bros.) Levin from Brunswik (Braunschweig). They used the old city mark, which looks a lot like the one on Your piece. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, though the pic is much cleaner, my thoughts on it are not any clearer. Looks like the mark is meant to look that crudely. Can't say I have seen it before. I guess I have to pass this one for the time being. Sorry. Best wishes, Bahner
