Mystery Ship Mark on Large Box

[atq1325]

Hello,

I have a large heavy relief box with a detailed scene of putti catching fish and making wine.
I've had it for many years, I seem to pull out and do research and then put back on the shelf, never really advancing my knowledge of the piece.

The box has a singular mark on the bottom of a stylized ship with three sails. It also has very faint etched writing that doesn't show up in the photo, marked "2009-RN". It also has an inscription on the front of the box where it was given as a gift to a colonel from his friend. I believe the colonel lived from 1862-1902 if that helps with dating the mark.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Ship with three masts mark of various forms was used by B.Neresheimer and Sons, Hanau, Germany.

Besides, it`s typical putti decor of Hanau silversmiths.
