AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
3 antique silver peppermint boxes with hinged lids
Information for each box, in the order shown in the photos:
1: An antique silver peppermint box with beautiful engravings. Hallmarked with the maker’s mark of H. van Assen, who was active in Leeuwarden. It also bears the date letter X for 1857 and the Minerva head mark F (Friesland). The box also bears the Dutch assay mark. It is in poor condition. The box does not close completely and there are cracks at the top (see photo). It is, however, a truly beautiful little box. 835 silver. Around 25 grams.
2: An antique silver peppermint box in a square shape. Hallmarked with a faded maker’s mark, but it does bear the Minerva head mark M, meaning it was made in Schoonhoven. It also bears the date letter Q for 1850, making it a very old box. In good condition. Probably 835 silver. Around 25 grams.
3: An antique silver peppermint box in a round shape. Hallmarked with the maker’s mark of A. van der Sluys, who was active in Schoonhoven. It also bears the date letter Z for 1859 and the Minerva head mark M (Schoonhoven). The box also bears the Dutch assay mark. In good condition. 835 silver. Around 25 grams.
75 grams of silver in total.
