"Sir F. A. Rien"
Guinness say the oldest are two at Hauteville and Union streets, St. Peter
Port, Guernsey. Erected 8 February 1853and never changed out.
Confirmed by Jean Farrugia, Archivist of the B.P.O. Guernsey issued a
stamp
in their commemoration.
So, unless removed since the Guinness book was published, they be it.
