Inserting that into a container of brine could cause the hollow areas to flood; making it difficult or impossible to clean; and posing potential health hazards and corrosion. Thank you phil, dog and jay! Here is an art...
This is a silver plated telescopic claw that looks like a back scratcher. Found in France. No hallmarks found. Any ideas? https://i.ibb.co/G2k11Wt/IMG-20201205-164614.jpg https://i.ibb.co/PMbFHwV/IMG-20201205-164735.jpg https://i.ibb.co/rHtQmsS/IMG-20201205-164632.jpg https://i.ibb.co/m5W99Hn/IMG-20...

Looks very much like Hebrew to me but you have to take account that the letters in the stamp are mirrored so that in the actual wax seal they would be correct. Unfortunately I can't read Hebrew but I could recognize several letters when quickly comparing them to the letter chart found in the Wikipe...
This is a Dutch silver wax seal/stamp made in Amsterdam 18th century. I have trouble finding what language the inscriptions are. Looks a bit like Hebrew but doesn't fit modern alphabet.

I looked in my book "zilvermerken van voet" and it's there as you say. I am still getting to know the book and city marks. Using the date and city name you provided I was able to pin down the makers mark to "Johannes Warren" and find the same marks on the web: https://keuren.zilv...
