Description

Up for offer is a small silver-plated antique livery button with the rare crest of a turkey 'in his pride', and the French motto "Ala Volonte De Dieu", meaning "By The Will of God", in a garter belt. This is the crest and motto of Strickland. Apparently William Strickland was the first to bring turkeys to the UK in 1526, and thus he and his ancestors bore this unusual turkeycock crest. The button is in excellent condition. It has not been cleaned. Backmark is Superior Quality. It measures 5/8ths of an inch / 16 mm across. Be sure to check out the other buttons I have listed!
