Hey everyone,
My dad recently purchased an old boom from a seller on Facebook as an art piece for his house. The seller claimed it was from a 1926 German sloop. Just curious if anyone recognizes the design or the logo on the block to help us date it. Boom is ~12' long.

Thanks!

I don't have an answer, however, I think you are looking at the logo upside down.

Right side up, it looks like a stylized ADR.

Daves right on the flipping. I think it is an Abeking and Rasmusen block. Famous german builders. A friend (I just sent him the image) thinks you may have the boom off the mizzen of a Concordia Yawl. AR did build many on the Concordias.

ALLURE may or may not be an AR build.

BTW, AR is still in business and you could send them the pics and I'm sure they could identify the boom for sure.

Thanks, all. Confirmed that it matches the Abeking and Rasmusen logo. Thanks for the help, everyone!

At the very top of the page of the link you posted, there is the same logo that is seen on the boom.
