Bellows with gold tooling

[rcr27]

Hi, does anyone in the UK make bellows with this specific gold tooling pattern?

Andrew Norman can.

Over the years there were numerous variations on that design, which came to be regarded as "Jeffries pattern" - but it wasn't specific to any particular maker and the stamping tools would have belonged to bookbinders who carried out such work for them.

Yeah this one is Keith, Prowse & Co (which I understand weren’t makers themselves). Jones I believe had their own?

I have seen a similar pattern used by George Case.  I’ll check.

 

I have a Keith Prowse that was made by Lachenal. It is basically an Inimitable with some nice extra features.

 

i do plan on making some tooling stamps like this but it will be at least another 6 months.

 

Found it… my double chambered (extra wide) George Case and a Jeffries… very close:
