Need help identifying the makers mark NJ.
It appears to be Sterling, Birmingham, 1884.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
NJ makers mark is for Numa Jacques, 16 Warstone Parade, Warstone Lane, Birmingham, first registered with Birmingham Assay Office on 11th December 1883 as a watch manufacturer. An excellent book on the subject of Makers Marks on pocket watches is Phillip T. Priestley's 'A History and Register of Gold & Silver Watch Case Makers of England 1720-1920' from which this information is taken. I hope this helps, kind regards.
