Need a funnels expert, not one that's familiar to me. Scandinavian at a guess.

Nothing matching in Browns Flags and Funnels for 1971 or 1982 or A Survey of Mercantile Houseflags and Funnels.

Also drew a blank in Nordiske skorsteinsmerker og rederiflagg which covers Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.

Sorry.

The seemingly uplifted bow and gear remind me of the French-built Buries Markes ships, but the accomm. is sadly different.
