The Use of the Precious Metals in the Industrial Arts
The table hereto annexed gives the weight and the value of the precious metals employed in Austria from 1867 to 1880, inclusive, for the manufacture of different articles in gold and silver, and of gold and silver thread. This table is based upon official figures from the Stamp Office, whose mark guarantees the fineness of the gold and silver used in such articles.
It is necessary to add that, in addition, a considerable quantity of precious metal enters into the manufacture of various objects, in compositions lower in standard than 250/1000 fine. Such compositions are considered, under the law, as imitations, and are not required to be stamped. Their importance, as affecting this question, can not, therefore, be ascertained.
Much fine gold and silver is also used in gilding, silvering, enameling, plating of mirrors, etc. But it has not been possible to obtain any information approaching to accuracy upon the quantities of these metals so used, and especially as the persons in those trades make use chiefly of coins, ducats or silver florins.

The maker is Hieronymous (Jeroným) Grohmann, born 12 Sep 1803 in Langenau (now in the Czech Republic) the son of Franz (František) Grohmann, a goldsmith of Schaiba (also now in the Czech Republic). He was apprenticed 1816-1821 to Kašpar Kerlický, became a master on 3 Jun 1833 and a citizen of Prague-Neustadt on 2 Mar 1835. He held a warrant as court goldsmith in Prague (hence the Habsburg "doppeladler" mark), and received a license to open a gold, silver and metalware factory from the Bohemian government in 1846. However, he retired owing to ill health in 1847 and died 1 Dec 1859 in Prague. The firm was coninued by his (second) wife Aloysia Ippold (1813-1871) and later his son Karel (1837-aft. 1900) until the 1880s. Exhibited London (1851, 1862), Paris (1855, 1867) & Vienna (1873). The company was known for a high level of technical skill and is generally regarded as one of the best central European makers of the 19th century.

For a short period 1921(22)-1925 Austria used an export mark like this winged Mercury cap (the upper mark). The lowest mark, the girl with number 3 is a Polish import mark for silver in the fineness of 800/1000 and used 1920-1963. Hereby we can decide the year of manufacturing. It is between 1921 and 1925.
