Re: 18k Chester English Ring Old?
Hi and welcome to the forum.
LEN is the mark of Lewis Edwin Neale of Northampton Street, Birmingham. He registered 4 marks at Chester between 1898 and 1905, describing himself variously as a jeweller or a ring manufacturer. I have tried to work out the date letter but have had to confess defeat. Given the strange shape which remains I suspect that it might be from the 1926-1950 date letter cycle. Clearly 1898 is the earliest possible date.
