This company flew a flag divided from lower hoist to upper fly, green, white, and red. In the upper hoist was a coat of arms, the details
of which I could not make out in the small picture in Brown's Flags and Funnels (1951), and in the center of the white stripe
a black circle around a black M, the legs of which were curved, above a small black star and below something that looked like a
dolphin or fish, but was too small to see. This company does not appear in later sources on house flags or in current references on
shipping companies, so I assume it is out of business.

The flag is white with two horizontal red stripes near the edges and a red Greek cross,
centered. A great design for a house flag!
