Hi Tony,

It seems to say Malsterman, which would be a man working for a Malster (or
Maltster). A Malster was a person in control of the fermantation of grain -
a manufacturer of malt, which was usually for use in the brewery trade (or I
suppose it could be someone with a less-fattening centre! ;-)).

Cheers,

Sue
