The crest is probably that of Ramsbotham. The retailer engraved underneath is for James Jay, a silversmith and pawnbroker, who purchased the business, including the premises at 142-144 Oxford Street, of Richard Attenborough upon his death in 1887. Following Jay's death, the business was continued by his nephew James Charles Jay. In 1897, the firm became James Jay Ltd. and in 1904, Jay, Richard Attenborough & Co Ltd. The business was closed after 1950.
