Identify Mark On Sugar Shaker

[stillafloat]

Hi,
I believe my sugar shaker is Dutch, because of the 830 L mark, but I can't find the makers mark or the name of the pattern. The Shaker meas. 7"H x 3" at it's widest and weighs 5.9 oz.
The numbers 4530, the 0 looks more like a 6, because part of it is faded. Any help identifying my shaker would be greatly appreciated. I have searched 925-1000 and all other books and websites.
Thanks-Donna

Try -> David-Andersen

Please, in future post mark images that are large enough to be easily readable.

Hi,
Thanks for that. Is this Picture a little better?
The #'s are 4536. They are hard to see because they are worn. The bottom # is 12 which is also in the lid.

I'm guessing that the marks read - 830, script "S", and the old "Hammer & Tongs" mark of David-Andersen.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for that. Looking at the dating for the Dutch pieces, does it mean it could be 1825-1870? I looked at the David-Andersen's marks and it almost looks like it except for the arrow coming down. It is really hard to take a picture of it, because it is on the bottom of the shaker and very tiny. I enlarged the picture some more to see if that will help. I am enjoying researching pieces and learning about silver.
Thanks Donna

Your pics are pretty fuzzy, but, as Tom said, looks like Norwegian maker David-Andersen's hammer & tongs mark - it's not Dutch and there is no date code on your piece.
