[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3244420, member: 8708"]I found this little horse and sleigh on eBay, no mention of hallmarks etc but I thought I could spy marks and liked it anyway. It was described as white metal. Turns out I was right but I could do with some help as to dating the hallmarks please. It’s missing the reins and possibly the drivers whip, and maybe a passenger?. The shafts have been moved from the shaft hooks onto the rein guides but otherwise looks undamaged. I’ve discovered it’s Dutch. The sleigh hallmark has two keys and something in the middle I can’t distinguish but has 3 parallel lines. There is a mark on the horses tail which I believe is a sword. There may be other marks that I haven’t found yet. Google gives me around 100 year window for the date :rolleyes: The whole thing is c12cm long. I’ve googled and found many similar but without the curving shafts and none the same shape sleigh. I suspect the lovely [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] may be able to help here please? :kiss: Thankyou for looking :-) [ATTACH=full]297317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]297318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]297319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]297320[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]297321[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]297323[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]297324[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]297325[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]297326[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
