CT-Guards Posted 3 November , 2008 Share Posted 3 November , 2008 Hello there, Same thoughts as the previous post. Cussier? A Currier is a specialist in the leather processing industry. Best I can come up with I'm afraid. Regards CT-Guards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centurion Posted 3 November , 2008 Share Posted 3 November , 2008 A cuissier is I think an old French trade to do with leather straps (making them not using them!). A drum was suspended from a cuissier. Could this be an Anglicization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
