Silver bag bracket, Schoonhoven

[Vantlicht]

Silver bracket from Schoonhoven. Marked with the Minerva head from Schoonhoven as far as I can see and the S from 1877. However the makersmark looks clear, but not recognizable for me. Looks like Z&S but no hits in this direction.

To me the maker's mark appears to be AB conjoined 99 for; Arie de Bruin, he made small silver items. He started 21-5-1852 and stopped (died) on 13-4-1887. He also made wirework decorations for other silversmiths, this decoration was used used for boxes. Below an example of his mark
