Dutch Loddereine, 1806?

[jaume]

Hi again to everyone,

This is a Dutch Loddereine with a nice message on its cover that leaves no doubt about its function.
I notice the following hallmarks:
Base: Lion Passant mark
Base: PC / 114? that could be the silversmith's mark
Cover: capital letter L? which I interpret as the year 1806
Cover: unidentified
On the lid closure, you can see two barely distinguishable elliptical marks that I attribute to Minerva's Helmet

I would appreciate your feedback again.
Best regards
Jaume

Hi Jaume, nice of smell.

The maker's mark PC 144 for Paulus Riddersma Cabboes, active in Leeuwarden (Dutch province of Friesland), 1835-1859. The year letter L is for 1845. The mark in the cover is a 2nd maker's mark of Cabboes, PC114 in rectangle with cut corner.
Paulus Riddersma Cabboes. Born in Oldersum in 1805. In 1835 silversmith and wire worker in Leeuwarden. In 1845 also merchant. Died in Leeuwarden in 1859. The business was continued by the widow until 1860 and then by cousin Carolus Henderikus Cammans.
