What does the “Hubert Harmon name mark, some pieces with a winged feet device, Mexico” mark mean?

Hubert Harmon (1913 to 2004) was an American painter and jewelry designer who arrived in Taxco in 1942 and set up a workshop employing local silversmiths. He later moved to Mexico City and kept overseeing production of his designs for several years. If your piece carries the Harmon name or his winged feet device with Mexico, you have his 1940s work.
