S. Addis Jr carving tool?

[JohnPW]

Hello all,

I got this carving tool recently, it's worn out but the interesting thing about it is the name on, I think it says:
"S. ADDIS . JR". There are no other markings.

The second dot is the decimal point, half way vertically, or it could be just a random smudge. And the last R is smaller I think, or it might be a "B".

Most "Addis" branded tools are either S.J. Addis (Samual Joseph Addis, 1811-1871) or J.B. Addis (James Bacon Addis, 1829-1889).

Their father was Joseph James Addis (1792-1858) who also made carving tools. According to:
http://swingleydev.com/ot/get/157681/thread/

Joseph James Addis had a brother named Samuel Addis, and their father was Samuel Addis.

1792 - This is the furthest back we can go at this time. Samuel Addis was
an edge tool maker who lived on Church Street, Deptford, in the County of
Kent and who was listed as an auctioneer in the 1820s and 1830s. He had two
sons, Samuel Addis (uncle to S. J. Addis, otherwise a dead end) and Joseph
James Addis.

Is the "S. ADDIS . JR" on my tool Samuel Addis, uncle to S.J. Addis and J.B. Addis?
