CLANMORRIS OF NEWBROOK. A baron’s 25mm crested livery button

The gilt 25mm button displays the crest of the Bingham family and probably dates from the time of the John George Barry Bingham, 4th Baron Clanmorris of Newbrook [born 1852]. The button, with backmark FIRMIN LONDON , shows the crest of an eagle rising on a rock and there is some evidence of polishing to some of the high points of the design. The family is related to the Earls of Lucan.  feb14/3
