Hello Members I did purchase the box. AG your instincts were spot on,well done. Has" Made in Austria "on lip of lid. (that helps) Makers mark is LW,not LH. Because of place of mark,very hard to get clear image. if someone has a book on later Austrian makers,may find maker. Interesting to k...

Hello Members
I have discovered the maker of the stein,looks like it is Jorge Th Steffensen ,Randers, Denmark,with the double fish logo.

Regards Guido.

Hello Ag. again many thanks for your comments,I think you may be correct about it being made in Vienna, I like it very much ,the trouble is that it is not a bargain quite expensive. do not often see these here in Australia. It is amazing how many different books we need for research .The mark seems ...

Hello Ag.
Thanks for your reply.
Lozeng shape similar ,but not the same ,different letters as well,May be a Viennese maker ,but not this one.

Very strange no other city marks. Did they use STERLING on boxes made in Vienna?

Letters L H ,in this mark +935.

Regards Guido.

Hi Ag

they also make great cars.(modern cars )

Hi AG

Not sure where Neresheimer fits in ,look like only Roth marks to me.
Did they work together?

Regards Guido.

Hi Members I have just received my latest box,very surprised all cast,I have not come across this before,I thought I was made in the repousee method. Is this classed as a lesser box because it is cast ?or is there no difference ? I feel it is around 1880-190 in the Historismus style ,and I feel is w...

Hello Members
my latest Hanau box ,George Roth,any clues who he is supposed to be? may be composer or count.
I suspect he may be German.

Regards Guido.

Thanks Ag& Qrt.S The Auction house does not say Faberge,they just say European. Good pick up on last mark Qrt.S ,not Faberge ,mixed them together as I thought they were all supposed to be Russian marks,on different items. The item with last mark small oval box with blue guilloche enamel with sma...

Hello members I feel these are fake marks,what do members think? It may be interesting for members to see these marks. I have not shown the items on purpose. they are on Russian looking items.

Hello Members Another part of my research ,Have discovered a very interesting post online "A BRASS CASKET" The owner has been investigating the maker of his box. I noticed his box also has the timber fixed in the same way as my box under the top,his box is not marked,may be an interesting ...

Hello members I have come across an arts and craft style? box (attributed to Archibald Knox, English) that has the timber section attached to the lid in the same method ,with similar ,small rosette fittings. This seems an unusual way to attach the timber ,copper pins through top,hammered over on the...

Hello Traintime Great work ,many thanks for the links,the blog site is not working properly for me,I can see in other areas a lot of diamond shapes with letters, may be one of the companies starting with S ,Sangyou-industry, Seisakusho -manufacturing works, factory, Shoten -shop,store (not them ,ris...

Hi Traintime Thanks for your reply and comments ,I do understand what you are saying ,"The Patent applied for"confuses things if box made in Japan, Interesting to know if my box is earlier or later than the box that has "Made in Japan" and same lozenge mark. It is strange for me ...

Many thanks .Peter
