This ghost sign was for a company called "J & J Downey Ltd" who, The "phone" number style indicates that
this advert was placed sometime between 1927 and 1958. "ALB", which
stood for "Albert Dock", was first used in 1927 when that was the format
for identifying the exchange. This system was phased out in 1958 with
the exchange letters being changed to numbers.
Postal marking for the district is Initials and a number this spoon has # 12 could it be E-12 in the Dock area
