Hi guys, does anyone know anything about "Jones & co" and when they were in operation?
Im trying to get a rough date of a red sash.

Gotcha Jerry, i didn't see the 6!.....

Though I had to look twice to make sure it was not 236?! Interesting that both makers were from the 19th century. I assume we will get to see the item at some stage.
