So I am stumped on this one. The item is a small, round pill box with a British 3 Pence set in the lid. The marks seem odd, and I cannot find anything within the main site to tell me country of origin or maker. I chose Sheffield for this because one of the marks look similar to the Sheffield city mark, though there is no lion passant mark. Inside, there are scattered marks: one appears to be a lowercase "b" within a square, one is an uppercase "ES" within a rectangle, and another appears to be a crown within a square. "925" is also stamped inside, as well as on the bottom with another mark that I cannot make out.

Hello, the central mark looks like "CS" to me, and the other marks look a little strange to me also. With the Victoria coin in you would expect a duty head for that date. Is it possible it may have been made from a watch case?

Am I the only one who can't see the pictures?

Hello again, up here in the North Phil, we could see both the original and 2nd listing of images.

Lack of images seems to have been down to an issue between my broadband supplier (Vodafone) and the ImageShack site. Image visibility is now somewhat patchy. Sometimes I see them - and then they go again.

I don't think this box can have been made from an English watch case as there would have been no need for the 925 mark.
