VNS = Viners, and B = BSA.

Merc, I would suggest picking up a copy of 'The Broad Arrow' by Skennerton. While not complete, it's the most comprehensive listing of British markings available in one package.


Thanks about the Cubs. I'm only one of millions who feel this way.
My father lived through 4 prior Cubs World Series appearances. Too young to really recall 1932. Remembers '35, '38, and ,'45. Thankfully he's still here to see a win in 2016.
He's a lifelong Cubs fan and baseball fan. Grew up a couple of blocks from Wrigley as did I. He first introduced me to Ernie Banks at a Cubs vs Milwaukee Braves game when I was a youngster. Then dragged me with him to Milwaukee when the Braves won the Series in '57. So glad I can share this with him. Better than the time I first bought him a beer.
