Author	Topic: Silent butler that has a crest on it
Pianotiklr@aol.com unregistered	posted 01-22-2001 07:59 PM I found this silent butler that has a crest on it.....have not heard of that on a silent butler before. It is a crest of a lion(?) standing on its back legs with a tongue coming out of its mouth, with a rope-like design below it. Can you help trace this crest or give me information as to trace its origin? Thanks! Cindy IP: Logged

If so, it sounds a little like the mark of Lehman Brothers Silverware Corporation. They seemed to have been in business between something like 1927 and 1973. ------------------ IP: Logged

A lot of these silent butlers were made in England, often of silverplate on copper, and many do feature a generic sort of family crest like yours. IP: Logged
