Coined HB mark on sterling lid

I saw a mark similar to this one in my research (can't remember who it was now), but it belonged to an 18th century maker. This is definitely not that I don't think. It looks like a crown or sideway E on top of a coined HB mark. Any ideas on this maker? Not sure if the jar was originally made with it, and if it was supposed to have a spoon with it. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

The title was supposed to say conjoined HB mark. I can't find out how to edit the message assuming there is a way. Sorry about that.

It looks a LOT like the Hoffbrau Haus symbol in Munich Germany.

Maker is most probably Hermann Bauer, Schwäbisch Gmünd (or less probable Hermann Behrnd, Dresden). It is a mustard pot from Düsseldorf made in 20th century by ABB (= Adam Bernhard Bergrath) with the anchor. The lid in sterling silver with an opening for the spoon is crowned by a "Düsseldorfer Radschläger".

Silverfan is rights.
I will only add that the boy who makes a somersault ("twist the wheel") is a symbol of Dusseldorf.
