AR. Sorby chisel, with trademark/logo?

[JohnPW]

Hello all,

I know there are several "Sorby" names and trademarks on old chisels;
I. Sorby (Mr Punch),
I & H Sorby (hanging sheep),
Robt. Sorby (kangaroo).

I've got this chisel with what looks like "AR. SORBY, CAST STEEL" on it, and a logo/trademark. Note there's no dot after the first letter.

Lots of info on the various Sorbys:

Has anyone got any ideas?

To answer my own question, I think it might be "I. & H. Sorby" with the first "I." missing. So it's "& H. Sorby" on the chisel, which would match the layout of the words.

And the logo might be an upside down sheep.

I agree. And you've found the best guide to the dynasty.
