Hi Mike,

To my knowledge, that is one of the marks used by Kay & Co. This famous mail order company had its origins in the jewellery and watchmaking trade.

The history of the firm can be found here: http://www.kaysheritage.org.uk/10797.html

Trev...that is fascinating that this Co. has such a long & rich history. Have you a guess as to the date if the letter is "a" ?
Thank You, Mike

We will need to see a clear image of the marks, but you will likely find your answer here:

Thanks again, Mike
