Vickery's Patents Base Plug

Just obtained this base plug.

Normally Vickery's Patents base plugs just have V.P. Ld L stamped on them. This one has the firm's name in full. First time I've seen it this way.

This has just come back from France having been dug up 30 years ago and has spent the last 30 years in a bucket with other base plugs.
