Default Weldon backmark.

Went to speak with the farmer before embarking on the 'tecting season and he surprised me with a superb condition RN QVC (pre-1891) medium sized officer's button that he had recently found.
While giving it the preliminary cleansing there appears to be only a partial makers strike 'J. WELDON / ....ILY' Rather strange, considering the only data I have gleaned so far is that there was a C & J Weldon addressed for Cheapside London. I wonder if the partial address could be 'Piccadilly" and if this button could be a precursor! Perhaps more intense cleaning will uncover something else.
Hoping to hear from any of the buttons enthusiasts re this anomaly.
