@ Oel
Thanks for your reply

A while ago I had Christopher Johnson & Co (CJ & Co. - England) in my mind, who might have a secondary business in Hong Kong. ;)
But I can't find any evidence. :)))

Agree with Oel's assessment.

CJ Co, a rather prolific but as yet unidentified Hong Kong maker, ca 1890s - 1920s.

Best,

C.J Co. stands for China Jewelry Co., a gold, silver and jewelry store in Shanghai, China during 1920s～1930s (probably located at Nanjing Road, I need to check). I have seen marks CJ, C.J., C.J. Co for this company/store, and even 'CHINA JWLR' mark on a CES silver bowl onces. I also seen some items have both C.J. Co and NK (Nankin Store in Shanghai) marks.

Yes, it's probably from 1875 ~ 1920s.
