Hi,
I’m a novice and trying to find out a bit more about a cigar box that was my grandfather’s. It is likely from Sheffield so I assume the mark could be Jonathan Bell and Sons. Also a bit confused about the R Scott Temple engraving!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Cigar box epns Jonathan Bell?
Re: Cigar box epns Jonathan Bell?
R. Scott-Temple aka Robert Scott-Temple was an artist based in the Rivelin Valley, Sheffield.

Perhapse it was a gift to him for his prominant artwork?
and as far as Jonathan Bell & Sons that seems possible but if you also take a look at James Dixon & Sons. D's and B's tend to seem very similar in that font.
