Possibilities for Identification:

It is assumed that the J of the initials stands for Johnson, but no further identification can be given at this stage. Crest matches that of the bookplate of R.A. Johnson [Franks 16561]. There is no J N J in Hazlitt’s Roll of honour. There is also nothing in Fairbairn’s Crests, nor in Papworth.

Possibilities for Identification:

Fairbairn’s Crests gives the following names for this crest: Allerton; Archbold or Archebold of Staffordshire; Auchterlony; Barr or Barry; Betenson, Bettenson or Betterson of Kent; Bettinson of Seven Oaks in Kent; Bettison of Warwickshire; Burr; Craig; Danncey and Dauncey of Herefordshire; Dansey of Easton Court, Herefordshire; De Placetes; Dunk; Glynn of Ireland, Gowans of Scotland; Gregory of Ireland: Gunthorpe of Norfolk; Home of Scotland; Hume of Crossrigs in Scotland; Huninges of Cheshire and of Carsam in Suffolk; Hunt of Scotland: Egleton-Kent Baronet of Suffolk; Lobb; Merrington; Penrose of Ireland and Barkshire; Pentland of Ireland; Peters; Placetis; Posynworth; Repley; Rokwood; Skottow of London; Starling; Veldon of Rafin County Meath in Ireland; Wallace; and Yorks. The illustration in Fairbairn shows the collar without a ring. The entries in the list have been edited by comparison with the entries in the alphabetical section of the book. Extra detail has been added and those which differ in detail from the stamp have been deleted. Of these only Veldon of Rafin County Meath in Ireland is described as ringed. Unfortunately this is not very helpful as there is a vagueness about some of the entries: in a number of cases it is not stated whether the lion’s head was couped or erased. Until further evidence emerges this crest will remain unidentified. It is of course possible that the two stamps represent different provenances.
