I have a silver muffineer or caster. I cant make heads or tails or the three hallmarks despite searching. Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Silver Muffineer / Caster Origin Country & Age
Anyone see possible Hanau Psuedo s449 "Chalice" w/dots in right mark...one dot clear at top (or right) and one obscurred? Bottom (or left) dots not readable.
Re: Silver Muffineer / Caster Origin Country & Age
Mark 1 could be s448 (crown). Not sure, but Mark 2 might be a poor version of s455.

Hi,
J. D. SCHLEISSNER SÖHNE, HANAU, c.1900.
Chalice and pellets mark number s449 see here:

Hanau silversmiths used various combinations of marks, so one mark is enough for positive identification.
