![]() Dutch Silver Box
Very interesting old Silver box from Netherlands with three men in early 18th century clothing and a dog. I wish I knew what the story is about the scene on the lid. Dutch history or folklore? The Lion passant mark is silver purity mark. The Minerva head is the duty mark, this one has a number 2 and key tip on the bottom of the mark. The other round mark is the date mark but I don't know the date. I bought this at a flea market about 25 years ago, the 2 back feet were missing so I found a couple sliver beads and soldered them on, they are slightly smaller than the originals but hardly noticeable. No dents. 3 1/2" tall 3 3/8" wide 2" deep. Weight 6 oz.
