Just cleaning on a raining day and found this name on brass plate (Luggage Tag ?) found at an old site of mine.
Looks to me to be John Halker. Anyone see something different? I do not see a horizontal bar on the H. If not an H what are the first two letters? Hope to but an old name on a 17th century home site!

I can see some mark on the H, Little higher than normal for the H. I'm seeing a very faint white line on the photo

Interesting find! A few more photos would be of great help.

Looks like John Walker to me.

Looks like there are 2 holes for mounting a personalized nameplate. Luggage I.D. maybe??

 

[Schuder3]

See if this helps

 

[uglymailman]

John Walker? Good luck.

 

[Whyme]

I think GopherDaGold is right. It looks like a W. It also looks like it has 4 mounting holes.

 

[Schuder3]

I think you might be right! Thanks

Try googling Walkerton Tavern; Henrico County,Virginia and see if that leads you anywhere.
