Hi Victorian Sword...……..first and foremost, welcome to the forum!!!!
Thank you very much for the confirmation on that particular style of Wilkinson marking and that it does indeed date from c 1880s. While the suggestion of this being an early form of these hangers was interesting, it is good to have more input bringing the character of the mark into perspective.
