Really interested into why this object would have the Royal Arms on it, presumably a syringe of some sort but also wondered if it was a cake icer in the Royal Household !
Any information would be very gratefully received ;)
Thank you
Believe this is an irrigation syringe..used for various different medical procedures like dentistry, ears, irrigating wounds, etc. I'll come back in awhile and look again..busy at the moment.
Thank you very interesting as it has the Royal Coats of Arms on it, think possibly 1890's?
Your pictures are very blurry, so we can't make out the stamping your referring to? It seems that they make a wide variety of different medical instruments.
The symbols you are talking about may be associated with the hospitals? Seboom. Bottom of the page in this book...

Ahh thank you, I’ve just added another one of the crest, I wonder if it was a hospital like you say for instance St George’s or Westminster.
Here's some from my collection..they're American and definitely not as old as yours..

Wow such a fine collection- thank you for sharing these ;) x
Royal Warrent. British royal warrants are currently granted by King Charles III to companies or tradespeople who supply goods and services. The warrant enables the supplier to advertise the fact that they supply to the royal family. There is no shortage of companies who are granted a royal warrent. The crown has a list of suppliers and nothing to do with the royal family owning, it is considered a merit to be a company who supplies items to the royal household. I have owned many items that were supplied to the crown. There is no shortage of them around and esp. in countries like Canada where I have seen many !~
Ahhhh thank you Phil ????
PhilD....great info, thanks for clarifying.
