H. SLINGSBY
MANUFACTURER
NUNEATON.

Slingsby tended to stamp their name on the back of his silks, using ink. This was in the form of a large oval, with the Diamond Registration mark inside.

There is just such a stamping on the reverse of this sash, although it is rather indistinct.
Normally, around the outside of the oval would be written:

" H. SLINGSBY MANUFACTURER NUNEATON "

The Diamond Registration mark contained within this oval has the date of registration on 23 October 1872.               Day: 23     Bundle: 2 Rd     Year: ?I (1872)     Month: B (Oct)
