Hi all.

I feel I have seen this double dolphin like crest before but for the life of me I can not remember whats its for, does anyone know?

Elkington & Co, Birmingham 1903

Thanks in advance,

I think it could be just a symbol of Poseidon/Neptunus and purely decorative. The similar symbol can be found in classical Greek imagery and it's featured for example in coins (both ancient and modern).

Thanks for your thoughts.

It is the only answer thus far so its noted and taken on board.

Thanks again,
Regards,
Colin

I think it's the crest of an institution of fairly long standing as I have now seen an identical crest, also on a silver skewer, dated 1850.

Hi Phil

Thanks for your thoughts on it as well.

I find no match among the City of London Livery Companies.

Thanks Trev,

Appears this one might be a bit trickier than I had at first thought.
