Haarlem silversmith maker's mark

[KJ]

A friend has a Dutch silver box that appears to be from the 18th century given information I have found in the Forum, with the Haarlem town mark. The makers mark looks like a waterskin, wineskin or canteen. Is anyone familiar with this mark or maker?

Hi Ken, welcome to the forum. Indeed 18th century town mark for Haarlem. The maker's mark is a horn for; Abraham Marshoorn, registered in Haarlem c. 1706-1756. Attribution based on Abraham's family name being Marshoorn. Are there no other mark(s), year letter? Based upon the shape of the town mark I believe it to me made around 1756. Could you please show us an image of the complete box and its decoration? Thanks.


Best,

Peter

Thank you for the fast response. I will get a picture of the box the next time I visit my friend. I didn't think of getting the entire box at the time I took the picture of the marks. Ken

Cheers.
