This is a tea bag holder but have no idea what the mark is or the symbol on holder itself. Anyone have a clue? Thanks.

No idea what the initials stand for, but your tea bag holder strongly resembles a creamer.
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

You're right, it does look like a creamer. I don't own the piece, I'm just trying to help out a friend; she told me it was a tea bag holder so I took her word for it.

Hi all,
Pepsi's reference to restaurants, etc., makes me think perhaps this is a commercial piece.
If it had five rings instead of three it might be an Olympics Games souvenir...
Sorry, that's all I can come up with.

I think that tomwiii's nailed it! The main image is definately an OddFellows Rebekah symbol, with the three-link chain images being the main symbol of the OddFellows. Here's a link to the OddFellows site with the Rebekah image:

It would take tomwii to find it. Just joking I bet it was Ralphie that found it.
Does anyone else have problems typing when there is a moving image on the page, or is it just me....

Thanks for everyone's help. Turns out my friend sent me these two pictures to help her identify her "tea bag holder". Someone here mentioned it looked like a creamer. Well, it is. At least the picture with the three circles, dove, etc. is a creamer; Rebekahs.
The other picture is the tea bag holder and I have traced it to the Rainbow Girls.
Anyway, thanks again.

Tom, Sounds more like " odd chaps " to me. Actually the dog is fairly normal.

Guess work "R" with 3 rings = thirty year reunion. The initials are not uniform, probably a person's initials.
Iconography on the emblem looks like mountain at bottom and possibly bear footprint or claws at sides.
Bear Foot C Lodge.
Big Foot ?
It's not very macho however.
