<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 3237851, member: 22729&quot;]Yeah, old Tim would be pushing 300 years old, LordM, but hey, he could be a Vulcan. I&#039;ve actually come across the surname Lavender once before. I remember it for obvious reasons...unusual for sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that I look more closely, I think you might be right about my &quot;born&quot; guess on the other token. The first letter looks more like a &quot;J&quot; than a &quot;B&quot;, but I&#039;m not getting anything after that. The work is so crude that it&#039;s hard to tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Another problem is the way letters were written back in the day. Handwriting was very &quot;flowery&quot; and letters often didn&#039;t look like what were used to seeing today. I have a chart somewhere with examples of earlier handwriting...almost indecipherable to the modern eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
