When I looked this morning Phil, I cringed :(
why did I post that?
It was in a stamp phossick box, the joke a bit dated
but IIRC kids eating pies at the footy is
documented on an Aussie stamp, so I guess it is still current.

Our family has a British coat of arms as well (the branch that lived last in Bedfordshire before coming over to the new world in the late 16th century).  |

way cool smauggie. let's see how close I can come to describing you coat. gules with six shamrocks or, separated by a fesse dancetty ermine three and three. Interesting crest too. not sure what kind of bird but chained by that same dancetty fesse that is ermine aroung the neck. I have to look that bird up though. - jeff |

 Of course this doesn't refer to our family other than we share the same name :) Top of helmet is a finger pointing to a star. First found in cornwall in the 11th century, and perhaps even before 1066 My great grandmother owned a boarding house in Plymouth and it always fascinates me whether this was near Stanley Gibbons shop. |

Not sure what it is surrounding the hand, but I am wondering if these are references to the Order of the Star and Garter. |

smauggie you are right about the griffin so the crest would read something like Crest: a knight's helmet profiled mounted with a griffin's head gules couped and gorged with a fesse dancetty ermine bordered with wings or. - jeff |
