The bird depicted in the center of the brassed medallion could represents a "Phoenix" with its wings displayed, clutching four arrows. In Greek myths (but not only) it was a fabulous sacred bird, different from the Egyptian myth also as an aspect, in fact it resembled a golden eagle.

On the left side, the other three arrows are directed upwards.

The serial number of the above machine, given to me by an eBay seller, was # 113.697. The digit 3 was possibly mistaken read. With the serial number # 118.697 everything look more logic.

*********************************************************

Although some eminent sources asserting the production of JONES HAND machines ended in 1909, there isn't any evidence of machines with the Queen Alexandra " Special Appointment " and also not enough serial numbers to justify a production until that date.
