Help needed

Enlarged it and ran it through filters, etc.

Here is an enlarged, perhaps clearer version:

My own best guess is that the the first letter is "C"
Second letter "O" more so than possible "a" due to a lack of bottom tail on the right side and it is clearly different for the shape of the letter "I's" further up.
Third letter "f"
Forth letter "t"
Fifth and sixth "I"

As with some stored like "Dunnes Stores" - maybe the store had the owners name (First name beginning with a "K"?) or the name was abbreviated for something else?

Interesting puzzle and a pleasant change from the usual stuff we get in AH.
Cheers and good luck with that!

You're welcome! Watch CSI much?

LOL :pac:

I do actually. I have to laugh at the short cuts they have to take in their processes (but thats a thread for the tv section).

As a hobby, for friends and family, I restore/repair/etc old and new pictures.
It de-stresses this old fogie!

Would it be safe to assume that the writer of that particular line was the same as the person(s) who filled in the other lines/sections?

If so we can look at the other lines and see the shape and full form of those letters to perhaps give us a better clue to the un-clearer letters.

Further example of other areas:
