So, Dungworth is more likely the maker and not the location.
Any idea what the "BAM+" signifies?

While most commonly associated as part of the famous star and cross symbol of Joseph Rodgers, the Maltese cross was also quite popular with many 19th century Sheffield cutlers. It was often used along with other symbols or words as trademarks for the companies. A few examples similar to this Dungworth would be: "John Greenhough" who used the Maltese cross along with the word "Viena". Another is: "Marsh Brothers" who used as one of their trademarks, a Maltese cross along with the word "ROXO". So with this in mind, It would seem likely that Dungworth was the maker and "BAM and cross" would be the trademark, especially with Dungworth listed as a maker of phlemes and such in 1841.RobesonsRme.com wrote:So, Dungworth is more likely the maker and not the location.
