Many thanks for your input, Loren. It is an oval shape but the mark is definitely not clear at all. I wonder if it might have any purpose other than as a date mark.

Re: 1830 Birmingham shaving brush?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, Trev. On closer examination, I think I am wrong about that fourth mark so will welcome comments from other forum members.
Thank you again!

Re: 1830 Birmingham shaving brush?
Trev, thank you SO much for your prompt response. I would never have guessed it was from Providence, RI! I am assuming the three marks place it in the c. 1863 - 1890's and wonder if that fourth mark might indicate the year 1888 and wonder whether you would agree. Many thanks again for your help!
