Clothworkers or Shearmen.—A chevron ermine between, in chief, two habbicks, and, in base, a teazle slipped.
Coach Makers and Coach Harness Makers.—A chevron between three coaches. Crest, Phœbus drawn in a chariot. Supporters, two horses, armed. Sometimes this crest alone appears, and sometimes a horse caparisoned.
Cooks.—A chevron engrailed between three columbines, stalked and leaved. Or, a chevron between three columbines, pendant.
Coopers.—Gyronny of eight, on a chevron, between three annulets, a grose between two adzes; on a chief three lilies, slipped, stalked, and leaved.
Cordwainers or Shoemakers.—A chevron between three goats’ heads erased and attired. It is not unusual for the three goats’ heads to be used without shield or chevron, and sometimes a single goat’s head is introduced. The public-house sign of the “Three Goats’ Heads,” a “house of call” for shoemakers, took its origin from these arms.
Cutlers.—Three pairs of swords in saltire, two pairs in chief and one in base. Frequently two swords in saltire is used as the trade device on tokens. Distillers.—A fesse wavy between, in chief, the sun in his splendour encircled with a cloud distilling drops of rain, and, in base, a distillatory [still] double armed, on a fire, with two worms and bolt receivers. Other simpler devices used on tokens are the sun in splendour; a still; or an Indian holding a bow and arrow (being one of the supporters of the company’s arms).
Drapers.—Three triple crowns each issuing out of a cloud shedding rays of the sun. Frequently only one triple crown is used on tokens.
