Description

A Georgian engraved oval silver ticket, believed a racing ticket for Nottingham Racecourse, one side engraved "Lord Lincoln, No 63", 32 x 42mm. Very fine. Henry Fiennes Pelham-Clinton (1720-1794), KG, PC, 2nd Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne, and [1730] the 9th Earl of Lincoln. If indeed for Nottingham, it would probably date to 1777 when John Carr's new Grandstand was opened.
