The fireback is in place. Looks great, really completes the fireplace in the tavern.
A little research revealed that the symbol is called a phaeton (arrow head/spear head) and is representative of dexterity, nimble wit and readiness for battle. In this particular incarnation with the year 1606, the crown, and the wreath of laurels, it is the crest of Robert Sidney, 1st Earl of Leicester.
Leicester was a man of taste and a patron of literature.
Though the brother of one of the most famous poets in the English language, it was not suspected that Robert Sidney had himself been a poet until the 1960s, when his working notebook emerged (in a 19th-century binding) through the dispersal of the Library of Warwick Castle.

1606 marks the year Robert Sidney became Viscount Lisle.
In the back of the fireback there is a branding stamp that reads WM. H. JACKSON COMPANY, NEW YORK. Turns out that this company, which specializes in fireplace fixtures, is still in business. According to their website, they were established in 1827. Click here to visit their site.

I have received a mysterious missive from a stranger on the internet (from San Diego) who has recently acquired one of these firebacks from a remodeled mansion and has asked me for more information on mine. He contacted the current Viscount de L’isle who has assured him no fireplaces /firebacks have gone missing from his estate, but it’s possible that some of the family’s assets may have wound up in the Jamestown colony in Virginia.
The web is really a small place. I love making connections like this.
The search and inquiry continues. I’ve contacted the foundry in New York and asked them if they have any information regarding where the mold from this piece could have come from and whether it was cast from an original piece.

Apple Fires Back At Spotify, Accuses Them Of Using “Rumors And Half-Truths”
Yesterday, we reported that Spotify was accusing Appleof hindering its business by blocking access to a crucial app update on the iOS store.
