Scaramelli’s marks start in 1927 and scatter across the next two decades—with this mark, make that three.

1939 – P. Barale

This pushes P. Barale’s dates one year closer to J. Barale, whose earliest mark so far is 1946. Even seven years after he stopped calling himself “P. Barale & Co.,” there are traces of the old wording here, and he never got himself a new stamp. If they were indeed custom-cast bronze dies, it was probably too costly to bother.

The only other mark I have by this guy has his name spelled “MacLeod.”
