Anyone help on this? Reasonably certain it's the D. Company, but what would that D be?

Could be the TD Co. The fact the full word THE is in the logo on the top of the cap T makes me think the T stands for a word other than THE. My 2 cents.

I’m sure it’ll help knowing what it’s stamped/mail marked on. It should determine if it a retailer or possible maker. Need more pictures of the puzzle…
Wanted Ultra rare salt water reels including big game as well as unknown rare surf reels!

Here you go, Dr. Todd, about 30 miles from where I live. USTRADES wins again.

The Thomson Diggs Company. Of course! It was staring us right in the face the whole time!
WTGA! (Way to go, Alan)
