These things are 'WAY out of my league, simply because of cost.
That said, I DID work for a lot of years with TYPE. You do that in the newspaper/printing/magazine business.
That logo is not WS.
It is a reversed impression of an SM logo. Look at the shape of the letters: a normal S is WIDER at its BOTTOM.
SM, somewhere in Holland.
SM???????
Now where did I put those little whips..........................?
Hope this helps.

Me thinks if it is 'Somewhere in Holland' than it would be SH.

Maybe MS means Meehan and Smalley, Meehanite in more recent times. It could be a quality marking rather than a specific foundry's trade mark.

Forgive my stupidity gioca, but what's meehanite? Please elaborate?!!?

I strongly suspect the bracket will turn out to have been made in Holland (or possibly Belgium) as a replacement part for use on No4T's supplied to them by the UK after WW2. I now have the bracket as I think Dennis was no longer interested in it as it is not WW2 UK mfr. (The owner wants to do a trade with me for some other bits & pieces). It is made to a high standard & certainly wasn't produced in someone's garage.....
Have we got any Flemish metallurgists or foundry workers on this forum???!!!????!!
