Crest-Door Hanger?
« on: March 25, 2012, 03:40:40 pm »
If someone can help tell me what this is or how much it might be worth, that'd be great. (front and back pictures attached)

It has 3 towers and then a knight above it.

Three knobs on the front turn that are like screws, might be used to screw into a wall?

It is solid metal, like a gold/bronze color.

There is NO writing, on the back it just has that little hanger thing.

Its roughly the shape a coat of arms would be but I have no idea what the symbols would stand for !!  Is anything on the banner ??? I would guess that its probably meant to hang on or above an entryway door !!  Could be bronze or brass can`t tell much from pics but it looks like some verdigris on back !!

Thats kind of odd !! Usually the family name would be engraved on the banner !! Where did you find this item ??

That could be an old un-sold or "new" item for a specific club, lodge, organization, etc. on which the name was applied if and when it was purchased.
