A Lobster Pot
Of blackened iron, with two-piece skull with low turned comb, pointed peak stamped with maker’s mark ‘R’ for Francis Rolenson, with turned edge, and three-bar face-guard joined at the bottom to form a scroll, bluntly-pointed neck-guard of three simulated lames with turned border, and dome-headed rivets, with hanging pendant ear flaps (replacements).
Francis Rolenson, who is known only from his mark. He is probably the same as Francis Rawlinson to whom Thomas Dobson was apprenticed from 1626-34, and Thomas Leeson from 1627-35.
