You know it's a hard one when Steve has to ask the forum. He's usually the one that does all the identifying! Wish I could help.

Hammond Turner & Sons used something similar with a crown with two asterisks (?) but had their names on the buttons. Not sure if yours does/did.

I emailed Hammond-Turner and they told me the backmark is similar, but their buttons had writing.
