<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aquitaine, post: 2220954, member: 602&quot;]So, according to what I was able to discern, especially by inverting the image with the etching &amp; playing with contrast &amp; brightness, it looks like it says &quot;The Piders&quot; in Old English text.....which if I&#039;m not being spoofed, looks like a family name, according to Google and what came up on Ancestry.com:</p><p><a href="https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=pider" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=pider" rel="nofollow">https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=pider</a></p><p><br /></p><p>MY image is below.....You can also see in the &#039;blue&#039; (inverted) image...that in the word &quot;The&quot; the person doing the etching made an error with a capital &#039;E&#039; but then corrected it....just a side comment....AT LEAST, that&#039;s what I came up with!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; BTW, my images aren&#039;t great, but then neither was what I had to work with...thru no fault on anyone&#039;s part!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I also forgot to WELCOME you to the site, SO, WELCOME to ANTIQUERS, Joe!!!!&nbsp; Nice to have you on board!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255009[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
