Re: Hermes Paris Letter opener

Hi Welcome to the forums,

If the letter opener lacks any French silver hallmarks and the maker's mark is in a square, not a lozenge, the letter opener could well be silver-plated and perhaps made around 1950-1960

Re: Cowrie Shell snuff box

Hi Emma,

To my knowledge the Old Dutch wagons, in Dutch called huifkar, often had a pair of oversized back wheels compared to the smaller front pair. I wouldn’t rule out South African or America in connection with (Dutch) Europian settlers.
