Hello Peter - Presumably the crown is post 1952. I don't immediately recognise the backmark but will do some digging. Regards. David

Hi Peter,

I think the maker is "JAMES GROVES HALESOWEN".

From memory they manufacturer a lot of Horn buttons.
Here is a link to their website: http://www.jamesgroveandsons.co.uk/

Cheers

Ian
