I've no idea where else go with this query, so Mudcat it is...

I have been looking at a turn-of-the-century Jap (one-string) fiddle:

Yes, over-priced, but can anyone here identify the maker-manufacturer from the logo transfer on the front of the instrument? (Head to the last image on the page.) Similar but simpler images in B&W were frequently employed as column headings in 19C newspapers for the Entertainment section -- in comparison, this looks to be quite complex. The seller's date seems correct: I would say 1890 to 1910.

Thanks for looking. Nick
