This is attached to an old, wooden toolbox that I recently bought. The text etched into the lower part says "One and All". I'm curious if this is from some group or organization.

A medallion in the shape of a heart with a bar below it. The heart is about 1" x 1" and has 21 small white dots within. The bar below has words "One and All" etched in it.

It is the arms of the Duchy of Cornwall - and the motto accompanies it.

    Could it be a horse brass? That kind of sounds like a racing horse name.

    I was not familiar with horse brass, so thanks for that thread to pull on. It's as good a theory as any, tbh. I was personally thinking it was some religious thing, but I have no context at all other than it's tacked to a machinist's toolbox.
