Need help with etched logo/mark on small crystal mouse
« on: November 13, 2013, 10:07:06 PM »
Lots of crystal mice out there but my image searching only turned up one other example of this guy but no maker was attributed.

Does this mark ring a bell for anyone?  Not sure which way it should be oriented.

Thanks,

Thanks Rosie,
I think my wife feels the little guy is a keeper though.  :)

She called me on her way back from an estate sale and told me she bought a crystal mouse with an 'S' on the base.  Silly me I figured she found one of the little Steuben mice.  Then I saw the mark and realized it wasn't.  I then thought it was an Asian import with a mark meant to be a little deceiving but oddly haven't been able to find any others yet.  It looks a little familiar to me nonetheless.
