Any Ideas on the Origin and Vintage of this??

Howdy All. I found three of these at a 1940's home site. They are Al and ~1.5 x 1.25-IN. Judging by the back side, they must have been driven into a wooden something. Seems like I have seen these b4 but I am drawing a blank on an ID...

LMK if you have any ideas and thanks for the view. C9

Reminds me of the Minneapolis and Moline tractor logo.

Found this at a 40's-50's house site.What you have kind of reminded me of it.There used to be a corner store near by the house,that probably operated around the same time.so i always thought maybe off a candy dispensing machine or something like that..

Well, that I recognize: Vintage PAD LOCK with Key Reese Made In USA by mybestgoods on Etsy

-I did a lot of looking for the particular M&M company this is from, even a trademark logo search website, but came up without a match.

Thanks for the reply nhbenz. I have done the same researching this "M&M" thing...too many M and M candy links to deal with. HH C9

I also did a lot of M&M logo or brand name searches.....like you said, the candy thing overshadowed my searches. I have seen your logo before somewhere, especially the style of lettering and the font, but for the life of me I have no clue. I will continue watching this thread, I am just as curious as you!

I also have seen the exact logo......but can't remember either Where is Surf when you need him?

I found one similar quite a few years back and I just remember someone saying that they thought it came off of a suitcase. Don't know, just my two cents.
