    This is the crest / handle on an old button hook that fell out of antique dresser. Can’t seem to find same one anywhere. Can anybody help with identification?

    I think it is English.

    If you get a little silver polish and clean it, we might be able to make out some of the coat of arms.

    It's probably marked on the back. Did you check?

    That is the cross of St George, but it's not just used here.

    OMG I am old enough to remember my mother using a button hook to fasten the button on my shoes.
