Earliest pattern seen =2681 Byzantine

Latest pattern seen = 3797 Hydrangea

Backstamp styles observed for this tube-liner

AGR1, AGR2 & AGR9

Notes:

Pieces with the Violets mark are not common. Therefore although she was another of the early tube-liners, She could have joined the tube-lining team at Richardsons sometime after her co-workers like as TL-A. Her facsimile signature is usually seen with AGR1 and AGR9, but is present on several examples for Granada (3321) and Hydrangea (3797) . This would date her leaving at around the end on 1934 or very early 1935.
