Looks like Ramos-Pinto - at a guess

Looks like a magnum - possibly LBV - image is too blurred to positively i.d.

Looking at the letters at the top of the graphic, of which we can see only the bottom 10%ish:
First letter stands on a single support: F, I, P, T, or Y.
Second letter has a rounded bottom: C, G, H, J, O, S, U, if in upper case. Third letter stands on two supports: H, K, M, N, R, X. Does that narrow it down?
Tom: had LBV been invented by 1935? I thought it was a 1970s thing.

Thanks for that Tom. Thats how I viewed it. I've been trying to find a Shipper who's label has a thin silver border, at least at the top.
Then Derek and Jdaw1 started to confuse me greatly.
By the way, shouldn't this be lobbed into Irrevelent Port Questions? Unless there's some deep and powerful meaning to all of this!

Correct, you were spot on.
The second image is from a different producer, there's a clue. If nobody has got it by tomorrow lunchtime I will expand the pic.
Yes, Corky may have a point, move it if you wish. It was a slow day at the office.

That's an old IVDP seal - pre 1970?
