1717 set of casters crest

Post by steve7408 »

Hi,

Would anyone recognise the crest on this caster, Lions/Bears gamb erased holding two Ostrich plumes, the torse is usually a twisted cloth I think, this looks like a ermine decoration, of course I await to be shot down here.
Any information would be gratefully received, I have found other crests that are very similar but holding a minimum of 3 plumes even up to 6?

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

Is this an English piece? If so, what town was it assayed at?

Trev.

Hi Trev,

These are English, made in London in 1717 by Thomas Langford I.
Although I did buy them from America, so it's possible that they could be of an American crest? To be fair, I have checked this line of enquiry as much as I can without any joy.

Hoping someone may recognise them

Regards

Steve
