Crookes Moor Thomas Heeley

[Marierob]

At a market I bought a very old chain dog collar with a lock on it

the brass plate is engraved Thom's Heeley Crookes Moor.

does anyone know anything about this person at a guess it would be Victorian or earlier and I cannot find a Crookesmoor anywhere but Sheffield. Thankyou.

Thanks for that I bought the collar from a market stall in Sydney Australia some years ago..they had a lot of old articles from the UK...it could be the owner but I can't imagine a commercial traveller owning a dog..although it is quite a small collar.

I live in Sydney Australia (born in Watford Hertfordshire)

He most probably would have had a family at home. If it was a small/lap dog, it could have belonged to his wife? I wonder if he emigrated for a better life too?

 

Welcome to SF btw.

It's a very heavy collar for a lapdog it would be more pug size maybe it's for a ferret.

thanks for the welcome.
