    I’ve been trying to identify the company that manufactured this tin toy of a U.S. Navy F3H-2 Demon fighter jet, without success. The maker’s mark looks to me like an American Indian head, with headdress; does anyone recognize it?

    Interesting. Apparently this company had at least two trademarks; the head in the circle looks kinda sorta like the one on my toy. Maybe an early version?

    Great ! That looks like it! Nice work!
    Maybe you can find a toy with it actually printed might look more like yours than this drawn mark.
