Hello everybody !

I'm French, so don't hesitate to say me if you don't understand expressions I use ;)
I started collection of old silver dishes and I find this box :

The mark seems to be a dolphin but maybe it's a rat (lol) !

Thanks a lot for your help about this subject ;)

See you very soon !

Hello Kevin and welcome to the forum!
I’m not sure what information you are seeking, so here is my feedback on your items:
- This is an egg cup and egg spoon presented in a faux alligator impressed box with ruched fabric lining
- This type of set was often given by godparents as a baptismal gift to a child
- These items are French silverplate as shown by the manufacturer’s marks in a rectangle
- If you polished these items, cleaned out the marks, sharpened the photo, and posted in the Silverplate forum, you might find someone who could identify the maker

Good luck in your research!

Hello Kevin
Wow! It is unrealistic to expect instant results. If you present clean and in-focus pictures of the marks, you’ll have better luck getting a response.
Best regards,
JayT
