Anyone have any idea what this is? I havent studied it much yet. Going to clean up some more finds then see what it says kinda hard to read. Thanks for any help.

It's from an old wooden bucket of paint.

No problem...age wise all I can say is it's post 1867 as that was when the company was formed.
