Really interesting @clubman I knew about the Amateur ban on advertising and the effect that had on frame design etc but I hadn’t thought about the block lettering being more ‘pro’, nor about the aspirational choices when ordering a frame - or getting it refinished.
I suppose I thought the move to block lettering at Gillotts was a fashion/stylistic decision.
