Dutch Silver Cow Creamer hallmarks need identified

From this website, I have identified the center hallmarks to be Dutch. The Lion Rampant mark indicates the silver purity or standard = .833 and the Key intruding on the Lion indicates that the object was made for export.

Does anyone know what the first and last hallmarks are?

Hi,

You are correct.
The one on the left is the makers mark of Gebroeders Niekerk (Brothers Niekerk) of Groningen, used between 1902 and 1927.
I can't make out the one on the right.
