Re: French box
No one can tell me anything about the marks?
Re: French box
In order to be sure, it would be necessary to have the item in my hands (or at last a better pic of the box), but it seems to me that the sugar box is probably an Hanau production from the end of the 19e c.
The marks are (copy or original ?) : Paris, 1786 and Paris, 1809-19 2nd standard.

Re: French box
Hello Krisztián
In my opinion these marks look like perfectly legitimate French marks. I see a date letter mark of a crowned P for 1786, a charge mark of interlaced LL found on small objects 1783-1789, and a discharge mark of an eagle head from the same period. I can't make out the maker's mark, so no help there. It would be good to know where these marks are found. They should be on the body of the object as well as on the lid.
Hope this helps a bit.
