This mark is not unique to one maker. Our research records this mark, or part of it, as used by other makers too, or as too common to identify one maker on its own. Compare the whole mark, including any symbol, before relying on it.
This mark is shared. “JR” is also recorded for Jerry Roan, so the mark alone cannot tell these makers apart.
