snuffbox with unknown (hall)marks

Post by goldresearch »

Hallo,
I got an old snuffbox (without tarnish???) with two marks in it I have never seen before.
Have anybody an idea of them, please?

The feminine head could be the Cerere's head used in Sicily after 1826, but I'm not sure.
Just a guess.

Here is a picture from the book Donaver Dabbene
As I told you, I', not sure, since your mark is almost completely worn out.
