Marks on a Scottish biscuit box?

[mamafly2]

A lovely silver biscuit box has been handed down in my husband's family. I'm trying to identify the maker and any other info I can from the marks on the bottom. In a side-lying oval is an S followed by crossed arrows with the points facing up then an F. The numbers 49 and 330 are stamped and a lightly etched 53596 are also present. Any ideas?

Am trying to find info on maker of this biscuit box and timeframe of its creation. It's a Family piece passed down through Scottish relatives....and it would be delightful to learn more about it. Thank you for whatever information you can share.

Sincerely,

Hi,
Images are too small but I think it`s the mark of SHAW & FISHER,Sheffield.
Silver-plated.
