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?
Best regards

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.
Regards
Amena
