I don't think so after reading their guff. They look more like (unlicensed) "Financial Advisors" than a company that makes things..... I can't find their name in my list of badge makers at least.... Maybe I missed them.
Thanks for looking all the same.
David

I have quite a few BRITISH LEGION badges made by this company. Some are marked JASON & JONES.

That may well be, but the company that Tony mentioned the details of, still (at least to me) doesn't look like a badge manufacturer to me - unless of course they follow the trend of outsourcing their badge work to India or China and the "financial advice" side is how they make their "bread and butter". It is a little odd that if they do indeed have exactly the same name, I don't see how that got past "Companies House" when they registered...... maybe I am just completely out of touch with how companies run these days.

Phil, They are lapel badges.
Jason & Jones maked badges for the British Legion are the small size badge so date back quite some time('30s-'50s) way before "outsourcing" to China etc

When I see these unfamiliar Makers Marks I always look at the sellers other wares and although I could be wrong, the majority (almost all) of their metal (non-A/A) cap badges appear to be common reproductions!!! I would put this one down to being a "Spurious" MM aand steer clear, unless you want it for reference?

Cool Jones and Jason
I have been told in the past that this company made cap badges for a short time post WWII.

As engr9266 says, they made British Legion badges 1930's-50's so this could be correct.

Never come across them, before reading this thread. From the few Kelly's Birmingham Directories I have, they were listed as follows:

1945 edition: Jones & Jason, metal smallware mfrs, 6 Great King St., Birmingham 19.
1958 edition: Jones & Jason Ltd., stampers & piercers, 113 Northwood St., Birmingham 3; (regd. office) 93 Sandon Rd., Birmingham 17.
1961 edition: Jones & Jason not listed, but the occupant of 113 & 115 Northwood St. was Jason Plating Co., electro platers. (They were listed there in the 1958 edition also.)

Smile White metal Cambridgeshire Regt
I have a white metal Cambridgeshire Regt cap badge with Jones and Jason on the slider according to K&K Vol II this was sealed in October 1952 and would fit in when this company were metal smallware mfrs.
