    I think you are seeing what you want to see and not what's actually there - which is just a smudge of something.

    I know its copper and that its newer. Even if it is middle eastern doesnt make it special.
    I am seeing what I'm seeing and you see what you see, so lets agree to disagree.:)

    A bee (see?) is what I was thinking also.

    The company initials from the logo seem to be G&G. Garden & Gun sells copper items among others but I don't see a bee in that connection, so probably not them and you'll have to buzz off and look elsewhere.

    Thanks but not sure about I&G. The left hand letter is mostly missing so you have to take the tiny slice of it that remains, bee-ing the far right side of it only, and fill in the rest with your imagination, and the knowledge that it is a capital letter. That's how I got the left hand G.
