1 in. (9.75 grams, 26.8 mm).
Discoid in plan with lug to reverse; central motif of an open hand with legend to the border '* WALTER LE CHAPMAN [Walter the chapman]. [No Reserve]
ProvenanceFrom the late Peter Hooper pewter and lead collection, who was a guest lecturer at West Dean College and was a longtime member of the Pewter Society who contributed to the Pewter Society Magazine.
FootnotesBecause such surnames were still meaningfully ‘occupational’ at this period, and ‘chapman’ means ‘(small-scale) seller/tradesman’, it may well be that Walter made his living from selling gloves.
