Mikimoto CPO?

[TahitianDreamin]

What do you guys think of these? I don't think those pearls look like mikis but I'm on mobile and I'm Obv not an expert. Also does anyone know what that CPO stamp means?

Thanks as always.

Central Processing Office. CPO inside a diamond shape was stamped on objects sold in PXs after WWII in occupied Japan.

Yup, CPO in a diamond shape. Definitely occupied Japan post WWII. And they were Mikis because of the M inside a clam shell stamp.

I am a trough of useless knowledge, but it occasionally comes in handy.
