    Car boot season is back on. Whoot! I bought this for a whole pound today, out of intrigue more than anything. I think it is a small ice bucket. The mark seems to say AJR in a clover symbol. It also has JR stamped into the base. The glass/crystal insert has been broken and someone has taken the time to staple this, which possibly dates it to pre 1920. Why would someone make so much effort to repair an EPNS item? I am thinking the mark might be that of be Joseph Rodgers. 20230409_152828.jpg 20230409_152835.jpg 20230409_152849.jpg 20230409_152915.jpg

    You're welcome! It was difficult to read the lower 2 letters in the shamrock.

    I had it down as JR and was looking under J. Maybe I should search on second letter in future as well.

    I have always thought the old victorian staple repairs bring a certain charm to objects....
