    Complete the puzzle. See attached photos

    Known:
    These items appear on a C Melody Saxaphone case that traveled from New York to India on a ship in 1930-40. The ship line logo and instrument company tag are shown. The case may have traveled by train also. The saxophone was made in 1914.

    Unknown:
    What is the "214 P. & O."? It looks to be older than the ship sticker.

    (Edited Q to O. Thanks for the correction.)

    This fits well with the known history for part of the ocean travel near India.

    Early 20th century years: 1900–1945[edit]

    Mail contracts were the basis of P&O's prosperity until the Second World War, but the company also continued to become a major commercial shipping line and passenger liner operator. In 1914, it took over the British India Steam Navigation Company, which was then the largest British shipping line

    Appears to be a Conn case, that's all I can say.
