A silver twin handled trophy cup by Walker & Hall, Sheffield 1913, with a moulded everted rim reeded and with a flower and leaf at the quarters, the reeded handles with flower and leaf centres, a paper scroll reserve engraved with a coat-of-arms, a knop to the pedestal, the lower rim reeded and with a flower and leaf at the quarters, on a square base, 34.5cm (13 1/2in) high, 3493g (112.3 oz) The coat of arms of PELHAM-CLINTON. In 1913, the year of assay, the holder of these arms was Henry Pelham Archibald Douglas Pelham-Clinton-Hope (1864-1928), 7th Duke of Newcastle under Lyne. He would have sole entitlement to the arms in the form that we see in the engraving (i.e. including supporters). However, a bookplate of a cousin of the 7th Duke appears to be displaying the same arms without difference. The motto: LOYAULTE N'A HONTE (Clinton) (Loyalty knows no shame) Henry Pelham Archibald Douglas PELHAM-CLINTON-HOPE (1864-1928) the 7th Duke, suffered ill health and as result his wider contributions were curtailed. He was the eldest son and heir of Henry Pelham Alexander PELHAM-CLINTON (1834-1879), the 6th Duke, by Henrietta HOPE the daughter of Henry Thomas HOPE of Paris whose great wealth on their marriage saved the family from financial embarrassment. The family were associated with the infamous Hope Diamond. In 1889 the 7th Duke married Kathleen Florence May CANDY (1872-1955) the daughter of Major Henry Augustus CANDY by Frances Kathleen WESTENRA, but their union resulted in no issue. He was succeeded by his younger brother Francis PELHAM-CLINTON-HOPE (1866-1928), the 8th Duke.
