Swiss shoemakers logo identification Curly 'R' with wheat corns through.

[Pinkcoke]

This is a longshot but would anybody recognise this logo? from a pair of 1930's shoes very high quality. Is there a Swiss version of the trademark search?

Can you post a pic? And are you sure its an R and not a B - could it be Bally?

 

[Pinkcoke]

Definetly an R and I looked through all my known 1930's logos before posting, it doesn't resemble any Bally ones I've seen it's far more ornate. Will post a pic.

Pic added.

Hmmmm..... it is not unfamiliar to me, but I am not coming up with anything on my first pass through my brain...

 

[Pinkcoke]

Maybe give it another churn :D

Just noticed the bottom left curl definetly forms another R with the stalks...so it would be RR I'm looking for.

With my typography hat on, I'm only seeing one R. The rest is just decoration.

 

[Pinkcoke]

Is that another R or is it an H - Could it be Henry Rayne? As far as I know all their shoes were made in England since the war, but I don't know about before...

I can ask someone about that, but I doubt it, since the standard capitalised RAYNE mark has been registered since 1895.

I'd go with R too. Can't think of a Swiss shoe label with R right now though. I have so fare not come across any in the vintage Swiss magazines I have, which are usually good for ads... I't going to be hard without an actual name.

I've come across another pair of shoes with this logo an earlier pair I think but nothing like the other pair I saw, the only indication of higher quality here is the flower diamante button, this time no made in switzerland, just the R symbol:
