I recently dug my first example of this very common English jar. I was interested though in the letters on the front that are some sort of date code. Right under Marmalade you can see an S and a Q in the wreath. I'm pretty sure my jar dates to the 1910-20s era, but would love to have an exact date for it. Do any UK collectors know the date codes?
Here's the earliest example I could find online. It doesn't have the 1873 award date, so it's probably mid 1860s-1873
