@liaizon @tomjennings Pawnbroker balls might be reversed in orientation with two at the top, one at the bottom. Reference: fig. 2 Pawnbroker's shop, Islington. Barbara Jones, The Unsophisticated Arts, 1951, p 158. (And while the illustration is too good to go uncredited, fig 1 is a Saddler's shop in Liverpool, and fig 4 a revolving barber's pole, East London.) #balls #asterism #fediverse #pawnbroker #horse #illustration
