James Williamson (1842-1930), known as 'the Lino[leum] King'. LIME could well be a diesinker's error, perhaps from an unclear written order for LUNE. Williamson's Lune Mills factory was built in the 1870s.
Items from the Francis Cokayne Collection. All pieces are offered with Cokayne's coin tickets. Some of these give previous owner details, including Fletcher (mostly acquired in 1933), Yeates (1923), and 'the A.H. Baldwin private ticket collection'.

Estimate: 80 - 130 GBP
