Snuff Box, Unknown Mark..Russian

Postby dartsil » Wed Apr 13, 2011 2:15 pm

Can anyone assist with this mark on this snuff box?

Very difficult to get images close on it so hopefully what I have shown here will be enough for someone to give some information on the box.

Hi Colin,

Not Russian, but Austro-Hungarian.

Your mark image is upside down, but all I can tell you is that it pre 1866. Hopefully someone will identify the maker to narrow the date down.

Thanks once again Trev,

Is there a reason why when I take images for site. The site seems to cut off all right hand side of the image?.. Am I taking them to large for the site?

Hi Colin,

Images should be a maximum of 7" (18cm) in width.

Hi dartsil,

Maybe Adam Huegel, Vienna, starting in 1842.
