Grimwade page 402 gives, unillustrated, the only mark of Thomas Lycett & Edward Lynes, entered as bucklemakers at 2, St Anne's Lane on 1 November 1783.
This is an example, seen on a buckle. The mark was only in use for six years as the partnership was dissolved in 1789.
I have only ever seen one other example of the mark.
