1945 Soap Dish CC 1114, M Ltd.

[EmeraldBat]

I have an aluminum soap container.

The bottom is stamped

CC 1114

M. Ltd B

1945

 

It measures about 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches.

I have only located one reference on the internet, on worthpoint.com where it was sold as British.

 

Any insight would be helpful - confirmation or redirection or - anything.

Thanks!

The arrow head indicates it is British. Anytime you see that arrowhead on a piece of equipment, it is British property.

The 'Broad Arrow ' marking would indicate British Government property.

What would I do without this forum??

 

I wish I was able to contribute the way others do. But, only on occasion.

 

Thank you very much!

Agreed on the broad arrow. If I were betting man I would say the "B" is for the city of Birmingham. So it might be a a maker's mark of M. Ltd - Birmingham. My thoughts only .....

Thanks to all for the information. We have decided to keep it - it is a nice piece of British history. And, a very nice dish/tin!
