Research and responses

A Sotheby sale of Lindsay objects took place on 8 April 1868. The Lugt number is 30411. There is a copy at the British Museum. [Dan Hicks 30/07/2013]

Since John Lindsay is probably the numismatist and antiquarian from Co. Cork (born 1789, and died 31 Dec 1870). This object was collected before April 1868, and perhaps considerably earlier than this date. [Dan Hicks 30/05/2012]
