[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 251862, member: 59"]I suspect that you can't find it because the J (not inside a cartouche) doesn't belong with the H and the M. H M in separate cartouches was issued to Henry Matthews of Birmingham in 1894 and continued beyond the date on your lid. Plus he made this kind of thing (see the "Found On" list next to his name and dates.)

The site linked above is pretty darned good and they have no J H M for Birmingham at all.[/QUOTE]
