help identifying hallmarks on Champagne bucket (seau)

Post by fermiersgeneraux »

Hello all,

Need help identifying the maker's mark on this champagne bucket (seau a champagne). the initials are "GM" with what looks like a propeller in between, all inside a lozenge.

the other hallmark is the minerva, 1st titre (950) I believe?

Hello,
The marks belongs to the manufacturer of tableware Georges Montibert.
He was active in Lyon from 1930 until 1969.
His shop was first located at 28 rue Notre-Dame and as from 1952 at 49 rue Germain in Lyon.
The symbol is indeed a propeller.
Happy New Year.
