Art nouveau Sandrik silver mounted candy dish and cover, marked with Sandrik well documented mark, painted art nouveau gold floral design.
Diana`s head with P 2.
Letter ``P`` stands for Budapest, P2 stands for Schemnitz sub – office. Sandrik factory (Hodritsch, Slovakia) was located in the Kingdom of Hungary at the time.

There was a post with P2, which could not be identified at the time:

The letter on the right, i.e. in front of Diana`s head is ``P``. It stands for Budapest, accompanied by a number which I cannot see properly. It means the candlestick was not assayed in Budapest but in an office which belonged to Budapest main office. The closest assay office to Hodruša – Hámre was Pressburg (Bratislava).
Well, my assumption was wrong; P2 stands for Schemnitz, not Pressburg (the correct info was given to me by Krisztián, the member of this forum).
