Was given this tea set a few years ago by my grandmother. The inscription is to a Sir Knt. James Totten on his wedding day in 1920. Does anyone have any info on who this is? Should this be in the museum or is it worthless?

  1. He’s not a Sir, a Knight or a PM. He is a past master in the Royal Black, the most elderly of the loyalist parading twats.

  2. Sir Knight is a title given to members of the Royal Black Preceptory.
    So likely a gift from his lodge.

  4. Presented from the lodge, Ulster True Blues 698RBP, to the past master on the occasion of his marriage 1920, if you contact west Belfast orange hall on Facebook they may be interested and/or able to trace the owners relatives

  5. The 698 is The Shankill Citadel (now the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial).
    Oddly, I can’t find anything on the Ulster biography website. If he was past master, it should have given a ping.

  6. I’ll give ya 10 12 packs of pickled onion monster munch for it

  10. Thanks for all the info provided on this. I have been in contact with the Orange Hall that it was originally gifted from & have decided to donate it to their museum.

    I feel it will be nice to have something given to me by my late grandmother to be on permanent display somewhere.
