Assistance Reading Manufacturer’s Mark

[TracA]

I have tried but I have failed. On the bottom of the wooden box for a Women’s Patriotic Association Third Class Merit Badge with Attachment is what I believe to be the manufacturer’s mark. I am confident that the first two kanji in the left column mean Tokyo, and I am somewhat confident that the kanji in the right column mean “official purveyor”. I just cannot get the rest of the kanji after Tokyo in the left column. I assume that it is the manufacturer’s name, but I am stumped.

 

Any translation assistance would be appreciated. I’ve included the badge obverse and reverse, as well as the kanji on the bottom of the box.

 

Thank you.

Nice badge made by Gyokuhō /玉寶堂/ in Tokyo. As we know one of the main manufacturers of Women's Patriotic Association badges https://asiamedals.info/threads/special-supporter-member-badge-of-womens-patriotic-association.25981/

 

Workshop was also an official purveyor to the Imperial Household Ministry /宮内省御用達/

 

No wonder it received so many different contracts

Nick,

 

Thank you, as always. Now that I find my way back to the Special Supporter Member Badge variations on your website, courtesy of the link above, and I see the stamp I realized that I already have a WPA badge with the same stamp on the underside of the box lid. I need to be careful about checking all of my sources, even the ones that are in my possession.

 

All the best,

 

Tracy

Thank you for providing a clearer picture of the kanji. It can sometimes be difficult to read the printed kanji off of a box.

 

Have a great day.
