    I believe it’s JHR. If you search it shows a couple but they didn’t identify the maker.

    That looks very cool!!! Didn't find anything with the bottom initials...I think, as stated above 'JHR'....BUT, boy did I get hauled into reading about the S.S. Southland!!!! An Australian troopship that got torpedoed in 1915, but miraculously DIDN'T sink, https://discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/groupstories/2634,
    Lifted from the Ships List web site, and was refitted to serve again only this time sunk ( In 1915 she was requisitioned as a troopship and renamed SOUTHLAND and on 2nd Nov.1915 was torpedoed in the Aegean Sea, but reached port and was repaired. She returned to White Star - Dominion Liverpool - Quebec - Montreal service in Aug.1916 but on 4th Jun.1917 was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U.70 off the Irish coast with the loss of 4 lives. [North Atlantic Seaway, vol.2, p.855 by N.R.P.Bonsor])
