Hi Bart,

Welcome to the Forum.

We have an answer for you, but require an image of the maker's mark to confirm.

Thanks for the quick replay guys. I have no picture of the makers marks but its just normal capital letters K B S P in a frame and do you know what the letter N means at the end.

We are always reluctant to give attributions without seeing the mark, as there are often very similar marks to be found, but from your description there is likely to be only one candidate and that is Kinsey Brothers & Patrick, of 56, Albion Street, Birmingham. They registered at Chester in 1897 as Keeper Ring Manufacturers.

Kinsey Brothers & Patrick were noted as being wound up in 1956.
