What is it?

Pair of scissors? Would you say that this cuts to the heart of the challenge?

Indeed.

This photo is part of a trademark on an object. I want to know what the trademark is and what type of object it's on.

Is it the Laura Secord logo on a box of chocolates?

Is it the Laura Secord logo on a box of chocolates?

Sorry, no. The item is black painted brass with metal filled engraving. The photo is about four times life size.

 

[Roy Rob]

How about a Labatts beer stein?

 

[scifan5750]

Not that either. The object is partially mechanical in nature. Here's another photo.

 

[scifan5750]

It was made in the early 1930's by a company that's still in business.

Is it a Leica brand camera ?

It certainly is.

This is the Leica II camera. This copy was made in 1932, and is their first model with a built in rangefinder.
Over to you, Admiral.

I don't have a challenge prepared so the floor is open.

OK, let's jump in.

What is this a part of? why was it produced in this version?

It's pretty quiet here. Another clue is that this item was struck to celebrate the centenary of a first in communications.

Sorry, there are 3 clues in there. . Let's say that I'm feeling generous

EPS posted just in front of my challenge. (It was a photo finish ) I never realised until I was PM'd. So, I hold my challenge back until I get in first with a correct answer to a running challenge.

My guess re the current challenge is a winding handle for a clock, such as a grandfather clock.
