Can you identify this button?

[Nickmann101]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I'm looking for some help!

I have what I believe to be an old uniform button and have been having trouble identifying it.

Hopefully someone on here will recognise it.

It's features what I think (might be) a Victorian crown to the top, below in the middle of the button are three images a Tudor rose, bull coming out of the top of another crown and a portcullis.

It is marked on the back as made by Firmin & Sons London.

I have tried googling all those words, and nothing is coming up.

I have attached pics and hopefully someone recognises it.

Many thanks
Nick

The combination of Crown, Tudor Rose and the Portcullis suggest some form of Government or Royal connection, perhaps? My first reaction was to think of Yeomen Warders. I don't think it has a transport connection at all.

Hi John,

Thanks for your quick and helpful response!

I will do some more research based on the information you've suggested.

Cheers
Nick

I've just had a good 10 or 15 minutes looking, and even on the font of all knowledge (ebay in this case) throws up no clues!

My best advice is (depending on your location in the country), visit 1 of the E. C. Snaith and Son Ltd retail outlets or email Firmin themselves, complete with pictures and as many details as you can.
