Hi. I'd like to identify these perfins. I've searched using Google, but the best result I got was reading the 16 pages of this topic (laughs). Buying a catalog is out of the question, as I live in Brazil and British perfins are not very common for me. So, if you can help me it would make my day. Thanks in advance.

Here is one more for the thread. This perfin is "T G" and it is Thresher and Glenny Ltd. of London. The cover has an enclosure, a typewritten response to a customer in Southport, Connecticut.

Mr. Glenny explains that they will not be making an autumn 1942 trip to the States. They will not be able to export anything, as well.

Fourth paragraph states, "Our main work is, of course, military and naval uniforms. If you could recommend us to any friends who have come over with the U.S.A. army, they will find that we can take care of their kit replacement orders."

Stationery has a nicely engraved imprint with the inscription, "By appointment to the late King George V."

Very unusual cover,
in that a Freeborn G Jewett, passed away in 1858

Surprising such an unusual name, to be had by apparently 2 people.

Update:
Maybe not so unusual name....
Freeborn Garrettson, was a famous abolitionist...
Possibly named after him

The envelope is probably addressed to Freeborn G. Jewett the 3rd, as his 12 year old son is referred to as the 4th:

First and third covers below are KCL - Kings College London, third one looks to be K&C for the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea Public Libraries. Looks like my scanner cut off the bottom of the 3rd cover...
