Steve04424, I think it's true.
Most Danish furniture exported to America will use 'Denmark' while most domestic furniture uses the 'Danmark' spelling.
I do come across alot of 'Danmark' tags here in the states and they are almost always from military families who imported the furniture themselves.

jesgord...their the square ones, exactly! i even have the bottom half of the black box with the red lining, just not the lid with the manufacturer's name on it. lol. Thanks for the photo's. awesome! foxxxy, thanks for the insight, I cant remember where i had read that but it makes sense. thanks again guys.
I lived there and
the stuff you buy there says "Danmark" for the most part.
In my auction-going days here in the U.S., I would see Danmark-marked smalls now and then and they were probably mostly things people brought back from their travels.
("Danmark" is the name of the country in Denmark. I mean, that's how the Danes say it, for anyone who is new to this. "Dansk" is Danish for "Danish", in addition to being the name of the company that produced so many wonderful things.)
Just added to my growing collection of Dansk smalls.
I had already acquired about 10 of the tiny "Match Mates" (model #800) matchbook holders over the last few years for decoration on the living room bookshelves. These holders are solid teak with one of four pewter image inlays: pipe, lantern, candlestick, or pistol.
Recently a set of four Dansk coasters popped up on eBay that have the pewter pistol inlay in them, and marked "Danmark" on the side. Since,
1) I was previously unaware that Dansk had made a similar inlay coaster,
2) I needed some more coasters for the pad,
3) the buy-it-now price was quite reasonable, and
4) I like old Dansk smalls,
I went ahead and bought them (also comes with the original box).
I wonder what else was made with these pewter inlays.
