Snuff Box

[andreac]

Hi,

I would be grateful if somebody could help me if this is really a snuff box and also if this is silver or other material and perhaps the age.
I know that the hallmarks are not really readable any longer and this give me the impression that this box should have some years.




Many thanks in advance
Andrea

Hi,


I believe it could be made out of silver and perhaps made during the Austria Hungary Empire.
See; http://www.925-1000.com/foreign_marks.html.
Please provide us with the sizes but could be a silver tobacco box.

Hi Oel,

the sizes are:

Long: 89mm
High: 31mm
Width: 41mm

Here also another macro picture of the hallmark. I believe that you could be right with Austrian-Hungary.


Thanks again
Andrea

Your welcome and yes I believe it to be Austrian-hungary most likely a silver table snuff box.

Best,

Oel.
