Hi Mrs Jordan

You won't get any definitive answer here without a mark photo.

Here are the dates and names of this firm's timeline.

Ford & Co 1868 - 1873

Ford & Riley 1876 - 1893

Ford & Sons 1893 - 1908

Ford & Sons Ltd 1908 - 1938

Ford & Sons (Crownford) Ltd 1938 -

=====================================

A visual on the mark identifies the date range, so without a photo your date could be anything from 1893 to modern times.
