I think it says Ironmonger's Porter

I don't know why they always had to put lines through things do you?

Note for Shirley:

For 1871 thru 1901, the year is determined by the RG# (and vice versa). The number runs from RG10 thru RG13. E.g., if you do a search in 1901 on Ancestry, you can't enter anything but RG13.
