Hullo everybody

..... Similar to my thoughts. As I understand it, the capital 'J' did not enter the Roman Alphabet 'til about the mid 1700s. The capital letter 'I' was used in its stead. So, this would narrow it down to two possibilities on the list provided.

Alexander, хорошо удачи мой друг !

I think I might have missed something, but I would read "Ioannes " as "Johannes" (AKA "John") as well. That seems to me to make it one of five makers named John Read in Dublin (or at least five addresses in Dublin). It does seem as though at least one , at least, "John Read" moved his factory about a bit in Dublin.
