Livery buttons

The lion with the earls' coronet above it is for the Earl of Shrewsbury (Chetwynd-Talbot family) who lived at Alton Towers until the 1920's.

If you can say what is on the reverse side it may be possible to date it and say who commissioned it.

Can I use the image for my website please?

You say UKDFD has identified the other one in your post, can you say what they reckon it is please?

Hi Kev the verdict is still out on the lion one but here they both are and feel free to use them mate.

Regarding the "lion one".......
I think the statement on UKDFD... "A likely candidate for this button is that of the Lovaine Family, Duke's of Northumberland." ...might have come about because of info from the Myfamilysilver website that I posted on this Forum while trying to ID that button.
I changed my ID when I realised that the Myfamilysilver info was misleading. ~ Click Here

The other button on UKDN..... Click Here

I think Kev could be on the mark with his Earl of Shrewsbury of Alton Towers ID...but with the button probably being from when the title was held by a Talbot, as those (after the 17th Earl?) with the Chetwynd-Talbot surname probably had two crests on their livery buttons.

Dug this button Staffordshire Sunday

Kev not mine but any help would be great

[kev woodward]

The 1st and 4th quarters show the arms of the Elton family (StuE will be happy! ) Click Here

I'm still looking for the other one.....more later, hopefully

[kev woodward]

2nd and 3rd quarters appear to be for the Marwood family Click Here There is some info on the Marwood-Elton family on Google if you want to know more - one here Click Here

If you can say what is on the reverse it should be datable

[DiOz]

Nice ID Kev.

The Elton-Marwood arms are described here... Click Here

Apparently the arms are on a stained-glass window in St Cuthbert church in Widworthy.

Looks to be the Attwood family which seems to be a fairly common family around Hockley Heath according to a google search. I can't find an on line image but this button is in the Pitt Collection book

Thanks for the ID Kev
