<p>[QUOTE="ascot, post: 58641, member: 96"]I appreciate everyone's input. I posted it on the Transferware Collectors site but haven't received a response. I've also been looking at heraldry/coats of arms until my eyes crossed. From what I can make out, the shield portion of the mark appears to have the 3 English (Guernsey?) lions in the upper left and lower right quadrants. The upper right quadrant may be a rearing horse or lion. No idea what's in the lower left quadrant as part of the transfer is missing. Most coats of arms have the lion and unicorn in a rearing position with front paws/hooves against the shield. That's not the case here, though I've found a few examples with the lion and unicorn in these position. I'll look more when my eyes recover a bit.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Skeezix - the unicorn is wearing a spiked collar, which does kind of look like the head is separate from the body.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don--I agree that this mark doesn't resemble Meigh's at all, which is why I posted initially. I've handled enough of these plates to be 99% certain that it's old. I sure wish I could figure out what the banner says as it may be a lead <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
