I noted this coat of arms for American actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr. on a web site of bookplates.

According to a Wikipedia article on Doug Jr.:

"Fairbanks was a definite Anglophile and spent a good deal of his time in Britain, where he was well known in the highest social circles. The College of Arms in London granted Fairbanks a coat of arms that symbolizes the U.S. and Britain united across the blue Atlantic Ocean by a silken knot of friendship."
