Thanks.  Its been on my great aunts dresser for most of those years.  There are a few squiggles on the inside but it don't appear to say anything.

English Jockeys are different...but he could be a porter as much as he could be a jockey....i think what this seller is hoping for is some horsey,buyer....to take an interest...
