And a final one...

Do these say Chess/ Chest maker and Boiler Maker? Bit Odd!

This has been 'solved' on another post?

That says it is cheese maker and would be a female occupation??
If it's chess maker maybe it's a person who carves chess sets?

Nothing odd about a boiler maker, though these days it's usually one word boilermaker.
