I read this numerous times and always end up with - Lykusockow
I have no idea what it means, Google has nothing that helps

Well, Dave, the mystery was solved for me at another place, and it actually made sense as the person who wrote the word was a photographer I believe. LYKUPCHROM - LYKUP was the “shorthand” “code” for a Leica Camera in the early 1920s I am told, to avoid very long descriptions for telegrams etc, and Chrome was in lieu of Black finish. I feel cheated because I hoped it was a town or a persons name, but the explanation was clear and became obvious. One of the other examples he showed me was actually LONDON, but it really looked like “tuwduw” t= was L and d was D, u was badly written o and w was a strange n. So, after all that, no help with genealogy except it did confirm the suspect was a photographer. Thanks so much for your persistent attempts. I am in awe of you and the other decipher experts. Cheers.
