A medal issued for the 1906-07 International Exhibition in Christchurch NZ (Morel 1906-07/45) carries the maker's mark B & K MEL.  I'm assuming that MEL is short for Melbourne, hence my query here.  Do the initials B&K ring a bell with anyone in this context?

I'm filling in a few gaps in the list of makers and manufacturers in Leon Morel's catalogues of NZ Medallic Commemoratives for inclusion in the ongoing project to issue a new, updated edition chapter by chapter.

Any likely leads on the above appreciated.

Here's an image of the medal with the initials at the base on the reverse: https://www.ma-shops.com/colonial/item.php?id=2240
