thank you very much silvermakersmarks, I looked under the Chester makers list but did not look under the Birmingham makers list, I thought because of the center mark to only looking under Chester, can you explain how you knew to look under Birmingham list? Thanks Deb

Aitken is in my Chester list (search for my site using my user name).
