Can anyone help ID the shipping company for this logo? One of my buddies picked it up this weekend and we do not recognize the logo.
Thanks for any help,

I noticed you have a Canadian Flag by your name, was it found in Cananda? Atlantic, Pacific, Great lakes,....ect? Maybe we could narrow it down a bit?

I forgot to ask, does it have markings on the bottom? If so, can we get a picture of it?

That's an easy one - it´s the International Mercantile Marine Company.

Good eye, Alexandre. "Merchant Marine" was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the two Ms together. Here's an identical cup circa 1920...

Thanks to every one for your help, a friend e mailed me and told me this company started in 1902 by JP Morgan. It was a large shipping trust that included the White Star Line.
This cup was recovered in Halifax Harbour.
