A Small Dutch Snuff Box - Identify Mark if Possible Please

Postby emptguy » Sat Dec 05, 2020 10:40 am

Hello forum.

I recently bought this little Dutch snuff box and wondered if the mark I found is a City or Maker mark. Can anyone identify it for me please?

The box is just over 5 cm across and has the Dutch sword impressed on the tongue of the lid and on the base which is otherwise plain. These are thumbnails so please click on each to get the full image.

I've circled the marks on the first image just for reference and done my best to get decent close ups on the second and third.

Thank you in anticipation.

OK, my bad.

I've literally just opened the article "Dutch silver original maker's mark project" and my mark is the first in the article.

So my apologies to all of you already typing a reply.

Best Regards,

Ian T
