The logo is a flag-like drawing like this.

The Geographic Sailing Club has a flag that is a horizontal
tribar of blue/black/green. It is swallow tailed, and has a white
circle in the center of the hoist. Within the circle is a black
map of both Americas.
Mason Kaye, 06 Dec 2003, quoting Peter Edwards
I am not sure where this club is — I wonder if it might be
a National Geographic club? There the
colours are blue-brown-green.

Postcard [o9oXXb] (6th pc., 3rd row,
2nd flag) shows for «Holm & Co. Ltd.» a red and green
quartered flag with a white cross over all and a white "H" on the
canton. Is this british? Any connection with danish
Holm & Wonsild, with a very different
house flag?

Postcard [o9oXXb] (6th pc., 4th row,
1st flag) shows for «Hoyland Line» a horizontal
triband of black, red and golden (i.e., identical in design to the
flag of Germany).

Postcard [o9oXXb] (7th pc., 1st row,
2nd flag) shows for «Inch Line» a ~2:3 forked flag with two
“tongues” taking up the upper and bottom thirds of the fly
edge separated by a middle section with edge parallel to the hoist, in a
chess pattern of horizontally stretched lozengues, of which are fully visible
two blue lozengues (making up the "tongues"), one half blue one (the middle
of the fly), two white complete ones, two white half lozengues (top and
bottom), and two red half ones. On the upper white lozengue it is written in
black capitals "HF&Cº" and in the lower one
"INCH". I suspect that this is a British
company.

I cannot decide which of these two geometrically simple designs is
the most accurate — perhaps none of these but a less simple design, with
the inner edges of the “tongues” non parallel to the
lozenges’ sides…

I purchased what might be a merchant steamship company captain’s
patches. They look quite old, and feature a blue, red and white with blue
star pennant or ensign flag.
