Description: | JR Gaum & Son, Birmingham
A gilt brass Royal Navy officer's dress uniform button made by J.R. Gaum & Son, Birmingham, formerly owned by Captain Scott. It depicts the Admiralty's fouled anchor below a crown. Although never registered, documents in the archive (ARC/HMG/CM/007/A/COLBECKW/001-002) show that a group of objects was acquired by the Horniman from the then Lady Kennet (Kathleen Young, née Bruce, formerly Kathleen Scott and Lady Scott), Captain Scott's widow, in March 1938. Further documents (ARC/HMG/CM/007/A/COLBECKW/003-025, 027, 029 and 034) state that they were exhibited in the South Hall, before the button was transferred to HMS Discovery, then an RNVR drill ship; it was eventually transferred along with the Discovery to Dundee Heritage Trust, where its number is W 79.133.45.2. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | buttons gold brass Robert Falcon gilding Scott | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-224691 |
