Hello,
Trying to make out the marks on this handled basket. Particularly the middle mark, perhaps a man's side profile? The marks are on the base. Thanks!

::::: The construction of the object seems to have something to do with Russia, so I am guessing Lithuania? ::::: I wondered about Armenia too when the Soviet influenced Armenia, but I'm having a difficult time finding those old pictures. ::::::: Could it be somewhere else in the Baltic region? :::::
::::: Is it possible to clean the hallmarks and get a really crisp sharp in focus picture? :::::: My eyes don[t see these hallmarks very well. :

Hi,
Although the mark image is somewhat blurry I believe the marks are WMF.

Aguest - thank you for your time studying the item and marks. Sorry it was blurry!
Dognose - I see that! I was looking at it upside down but I believe you are correct. Thanks for your input in solving the marks.
