Help with marks on snuff box?

Postby JavaCan » Mon Nov 12, 2007 2:01 am

Hi,
I have searched through all of the marks and cannot find who made this. I think this may be a snuff box. It is hinged and is about 6" x 4".
Thank you for your time.

Hello, only two marks are "real": the 800, which is the fineness and the grape in the middle. Maker is Gebrüder Neumann from Hanau, Germany, active from the 1920ies onwards. The other marks are typical Hanau pseudo marks, meant to look like old marks. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello Bahner,
Thank you so much for your help and time. I thought it may be German because of the 800 mark. I was unable to find the other marks in my searches. My uncle was in Germany and Belgium during and after WWII and I assumed he picked up this item during that time.

Best wishes,
Jay
