<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 745592, member: 5833"]My first thought was school award, but would schoolboy Thomas Cook be designated Esquire? The way the name is abbreviated & the form of the S in Esq., & overall quality suggest some age. Don't know how far into the 19th century that S persisted. Of course, engraving may be deliberately 'quaint'. And don't know how far into the 20th century it could be assumed anyone knew who Clio is. Suppose if you were getting a British public school education you'd know this stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
