Where is this snuff box from?

Post by techsol »

Hi,

I am looking for information on this snuff box. It has what I thought initially was a French Minerva mark, but now I am not so sure. Any help gratefully appreciated.

Hello!
Not Minerva, but Diana from Austria/Hungary
Check it: http://www.925-1000.com/Faustria_02.html
Unfortunatly we can't see, which assay office stamped.
If it is from Wien/Vienna, maybe you can find the maker from the Neuwirth: Wiener gold- und silberschmiede und ihre punzen 1867-1922.
Best regards!

Dear Martin!
If it's from Wien, maybe could be Filipp (Philipp) Scheidl. But his identified mark in the Neuwirth is different. He known form 1858 to 1900.
