[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4535390, member: 2844"]It is part of a smoker's set, which also had a cedar lined cigarette box and an ashtray. Some had a cigar cutter and cigar box as well. That is the proper hallmark and the only one that is mandatory.:) A maker's mark doesn't make any difference to the value in this case. These silver Old Dutch Master's painting scenes were manufactured in great numbers between ca 1900-1940s. Your scenes could be from paintings by Jan Steen.[/QUOTE]
