Hello, could you be so kind as to take a pic that is a little more in focus?
Also, could you take a pic of the entire item so we could see the entirety of the object?

There is probably more to the makers mark, but has probably worn away, sometimes using a loupe and getting the mark in the right light, you can sometimes see more.

This date letter "o" is 1909, not 1949. The style of the letter H (no serif and fairly open) puts me in mind of one of the sponsor's marks of C S Harris & Sons Ltd, especially as there seems to be something within both parts of the H:

Yes, My wife said their looks to be something above and below the H - I think you nailed it.
