Hi,

Does anyone recognise this, presumably, shipping line logo?:

A blue star over the letters 'HSA' or 'NSA'. It does not appear to be the Blue Star Line as their flag differs.

Noted on a Walker & Hall basting spoon with the year letter for 1922:

Any thoughts appreciated.

ā€œSā€ is more than likely to be the last letter for Shipping or Steamship (or non-English versions), so HA or NA could be the actual company (or the shortened version (like Hamburg-Amerika Lign from the original NASM). And it might only be used on service items rather than the literature or flags. These are always tricky.
