Hi,

Well, it's a lot older than 1952. The item was assayed at Dublin 1806, the maker's mark appears to belong to William Bond.

Can you post an image of the item?

Yes, it's a wine-funnel, and very typical of the work of William Bond.

The date letter 'K' is repeated many times, but in this case it is for 1806, which fits in perfectly for the working period of William Bond, a known maker of wine-related products.
