Info on snuffbox?

[rogerharries]

Hi,

I have a Swedish snuffbox. I suspect 1838. Does anyone have any info on the maker and city?

TIA

Roger

The city is Sundsvall, the year is 1838, and the maker J. J. Gröhndahl (1788-1825), working 1817-1825, and whose shop was continued after his death by his widow, Sara Greta Thunberg, until 1842.

Hope this helps!

Any idea what the silver quality is?

Hi Roger,

Welcome to the Forum.

I stand to be corrected, but I believe the standard at this time in Sweden was 830/1000.
