Newbie needs help / John Tanns ??
Hi all
I recently came across a sign from a safe door and am interested to know its history.
The sign is oval in shape and has John Tann's at the top , with a banner across the middle with ' Reliance ' in it.
A banner across the bottom has ' 117 Newgate St , London ' in it and the sign also has a anchor on it , which has ' Est ' on one point and ' 1795 ' on the other.
If anyone has any information on this sign or John Tann's i would be most grateful.
Thanks
Caroline

Another point Gary is that although the key is marked 'patent' nothing has been found in the British patent abridgements, so maybe its one that was 'applied for' but not granted... The mystery...
