Is this a U.S. Net & Twine Trademark Marking?

Hoping that someone out there (Alan and Colby maybe!) can help with this registered trademark. I was told it was 1890s U.S. Net & Twine. Please let me know!

Here's the TM via Alan and Colby. I haven't managed to ID the TM owner yet, but I doubt it's USN&T. The hooks are wrapped in a Mills-patented wrapper.


1909 Mills catalog:

Edit: YES, it's a USN&T trademark.
This from Alan & Colby:

My goodness you are all geniuses! That's amazing. Always suspected it but reluctant to attribute without proof!
