Greatly appreciate the extensive listings you posted. I just purchased a Ben Cox umbrella in Brighton and thought you might like to see the handle photo but I don't know how to post it here. It is a full Ivory handle with an Oriental family carving wrapping around. The silk says 'NYLFRANCE FMF CYON' all around the edges. Am I correct to presume it was made prior to 1913 as the stamp on the Malacca shaft slide doesn't mention 'sons' and only says 'London Ben Cox'? Anything you can think of about this item is much appreciated!

Cheers!
