Hi,

I've been sent these images of a Dutch box:













Can someone give information about this piece?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi Trev,

To me it appears to be a loderein box of low quality compared to the 18th century Amsterdam loderein boxex I have seen, espacially the hinge is of poor quality. I believe the town mark could be for amsterdam 1745, silver 2nd standard, year letter L. So far the maker's mark remains a mistery to me but I haven't give up yet.

Best,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Many thanks for the information, which I'll pass on to the owner.

100% Amsterdam, you will find every 10ft the 3 XXX from Amsterdam on something when walking there, it is a "Lodereindoosje" most likely 1790th's
the hinge is worth repairing, overall condition is not to good, over-polished, not rare but big colletor' s item in Holland

Hi JKM,

Welcome to the Forum and many thanks for your thoughts.
