This Tobacco / Snuff box measures about 2" square at the largest points...and it is about 9/16" deep....... This snuff box can also be used as a Pill box!...(its a wonderful Size~!)-This Snuff box is Clearly hallmarked...it is marked with a total of 5 hallmarks.The following information on what the hallmarks mean, was found by using the website , looking under dutch hallmarks...The inside of the lid bears Two stamped hallmarks...a W(in a circle form)--which is the date code I believe, and it dates this item to around 1856 or so........and another hallmark is located on the lower right section of the inside of the lid ..---I think this mark is the maker mark.The bottom half of this case bears a Lion Passant hallmark that is the silver purity mark...which tells us that this item is made from .833 Solid silver. And the other hallmark on the bottom portion of the case seems to be the same makers mark as is in the inside of the lid...see images.....The Right side of this case is also hallmarked...see images.
