Hi,
This small box (Height 3 cm; Long 3,7 cm; Wide 3,2 cm; Weight 19 gram) has a clear mastermark CD, a dateletter that looks like a C and a townmark that looks like the townmark for Alkmaar, North Holland. The mastermarks for Alkmaar I have acces to don't list a master CD, but if it is Alkmaar, dateletter C could mean 1737. That could make a match with the form of the box.
Maybe it isn't Alkmaar. What else townmark could it be? And who could master CD be?

Hi,



Certainly not Alkmaar nor Dutch. Perhaps German, I believe the German city of Kalkar used this type of "Turm" Tower in the 18th century. Although I might be wrong, I will move you to the German forum.

Thank you!
Wolfgang Scheffler, Goldschmiede Rheinland-Westfalens 1 (1973), does show the townmark of Kalkar and that, in particular mark 465b, could really be the townmark on the box, however there is no mentioning of a master "CD" in Kalkar. Are there more towns with towers in ther townmark that could be in consideration?

Your welcome, let us wait for our German contributors to chime in.

Peter.
