    I'm thinking that this could be an eggcup maybe?

    VERY difficult to even GUESS at its intended purpose without some sort of size reference...................

    PS I don't think eggcup - the stem/base do not look stable enough for digging into - too prone to tipping.

    I'm baffled by this mark also. It seens Bornand & Co. is/was a Swiss watch maker or a watch case maker. By Googling the name up pops several watches. Here is the company listed in a watch related book - Holkin's Collecting Clocks Clock Repairs & Trademarks Index and Clock Repairs, p. 183, top of middle column. The company is listed for watches and watch repair with a date if 17/4/1900 (USA reading 4/17/1900). This is presumably a Swiss listing of watch companies, but for this company it says St. Croix. The index says Switzerland for the company.

    Nowwww.. this may not be the same because of the Eug before it. The Eug is for Eugene Bornand.

    Thanks Susan - I'll have a look. I've never seen this mark before so got nowhere with it! Thanks for investigating for me!
