    I can’t see any German, but some people here are very good at deciphering so wait for them. I can see maybe Bonns St?

    I can't get anything else out of the stamp, but I think that hardware is a replacement. It looks like there are other holes behind it. Something got lost/damaged/ old-fashioned and someone gingered this up a bit.

    No Bonn's Street in Colchester, but there's a Bond Street. Handles look late 19th Japonaiserie/Aesthetic.

    Looking again I think it may be ST Johns Street which does still exist. Think it is an H not an N as I first thought.

    Brown & Baxter?

    Maybe E John st, which sounds American. There is probably a Colchester somewhere in North America as well. Do we know where Wendy is located?

    No, I’m not sure where she is located, I was just thinking uk because of the Hobbs lock.

    There are multiple Colchesters in the United States, almost for certain. There's one here in Connecticut. When Brits emigrated to the New World, they took their town names along.
