TSAE is the way I see it. (Fairly certain, for what that's worth)

I think it is TGAE. For the second letter, follow the swirl upward from that letter's bottom. From the bottom, the line goes up and curls to the right forming a loop, then back down crossing under itself, goes up again and forms a smaller loop, and then curls off to the left and upward where its end touches the upper end of the letter T. In old manuscript lettering, a capital G has two loops at the top I haven't seen an S with two loops at the top.

I took a second look, but still feel it's an S. It appeared to me that on the G's the bolder main "stroke" isn't quite as tall, and that the second nearly upright portion (upper left) is bolder. So that we're on the same page, I'd originally googled images "script alphabet" then added "fancy" then "Edwardian script alphabet", feeling that may be the closest to the other (agreed upon) letters. Some of the S's in there had a similar swirl going on up top. Hehe, up top.

The letters are I P A E....the I could be a J..

I disagree... but I'm not saying my interpretation of the first two letters is definitely the correct ID. I don't have the computer skill to draw a copy of each letter side-by-side with one from the Caligraphy chart, so all I can do is make the comparison a bit easier by putting both images into the same post.

There is now way the first letter can be a (T) the main body (which is broader) is off set to the left, if it were a (T) it would be in the middle, or to the right, of the letter, I studied caligraphy back in the seventies, and I have a very old sign writers book as this was the Trade I intended to persue, but I never did. The letter is more likely a (I) as a (J) would go below the outher letters... in this style.
I will see if I can dig out the book, and will post pictures of the syles.

Great debate on the letters .. I guess I was premature in marking this one solved, but it looks like it's getting pretty close.
Thanks guys for all your time and efforts .. they are greatly appreciated.
