Im just trying to get the ball rolling. I think some members have given up. I also wonder what is "the holy mission". Is it an early 1900's place? Where is it? What country? Or does it have another meaning; such as a secret mission or special assignment. Or is this the logo of the IHS Press, a Catholic publishing house based in Virginia?vastik said:Indeed! There is some good research going on here folks
I wonder what the "mission" was?

I think thats very possible but we havent proven that, have we? Did I miss something? Ill try to search in that direction. http://www.wineriesofoldmission.com/SWR said:MISSION designates the type of wine in the bottle.
This is part of the report from the metallurgy lab. (reply #165) Tin, Copper, and Indium. Do you recognize the alloy? Im not familiar with this alloy. There is no zinc. Is this considered white metal? ..or pot metal? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_metal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot_metaltinpan said:hi, Do you think this item is made of a TIN ALLOY called WHITE METAL ?

What is InAs? Does anyone know?
Are you saying that the As means it was heated?tinpan said:bigcypresshunter said:Cu= copper

InAs indium is preheated to above a 100 degrees [f] before adding to the alloy.Copper was added to make the alloy harder.Copper melting point alot higher than tin and indium. White metal varitant used for medals

No, it just shows all the seeing eye logos we have been googling all in one place.SWR said:Well gee...that was a fine waste of time. Was there something relevant in regards to the topic there?
Ive given some more thought to your mission wine theory. Maybe the medallion is in memory of the holy grape.SWR said:MISSION designates the type of wine in the bottle.
The symbolism does not have to be historically correct, or have a definite meaning. Advertising the product the item was cemented to was the purpose served. It could be from California, too

The mission wine theory seemed to fit at first but Im changing my mind. I cant understand where it fits with "in memory of the holy mission."
"In memory of the holy mission wine" does not fit. The big mystery here, vastik, is what is the mission? Also why does a Jesuit logo have an "all seeing eye".
