Pillbox/snuffbox?

[madej]

Hi.
I do not have access to literature at the moment. Will you identify the silvermith? Assayer is Andrey Antonovich Kovalsky (1821-1856 Moskow) Object is a snuffbox or a pillbox?

HI.
I checked in -P.L-but I do not see the silvsmith about E-B initials.
Do other sources give something about the silversmith of this pillbox?

Hi!

Most likely it is Elias Bergqvist PL#1573.

Hello!
Bergqvist worked in St. Petersburg but the box was made in Moscow. Most likely the maker is Yegor Vladimirov.

Hi!

Could not find any other E.B maker in PL so if the city mark is Moscow most probably Ubaranda has the right silversmith.
