I think you're right, Frank.

I think it says "Rowntree & Co."

I think every contribution helped, it is pleasant to be on a thread with no controversy, isn't this the spirit of Rootschat  :) :)

Good morning,

I'm not sure there is room to get the "RO" behind that chaps leg without seeing the "R" or part of it. Also, if you google Rowntree & Co fire brigade there are no photos showing that style of dress. They all have black trousers and boots.
