Manufacturer's mold mark

Can anyone pleas tell me the manufacturer of the Turnbuckles that I have. I am restoring a 1942 Ketch and would like to have as much documentation as possible. The mark is a Neptune like fork.

turnbuckles

The mark looks like Merriman turnbuckles to me. First-quality equipment in my view. I don't know where to purchase them now, but you might try Defender. I bought some there a few years back.

That has always been the trademark of Merriman. First known as Merriman Brothers, then Merriman Holbrook and they ended as Merriman Yacht Specialties. Sadly they are now out of business. They had some of the best old style bronze hardware available in the last few years.
