    I have this pillbox and trying to figure out the origin. The mark looks like a Finland mark, but it does not have the town or date mark and I also noticed it actually does not have a heart shape. I have image search and no matches, the closet was the Finland mark. What do you guys think? I'm also having a hard time find the maker, any help would be greatly appreciate. Thank you so much in advance for your help!

    They're good, clear images. I don't know enough about Finnish marks to be sure, but did the Finns use sterling fineness when this would have been made?

    It appears to be a Finnish import mark, in use 1925-98, though I've only seen it a few times and don't recall the radiating lines (many marks will have variants - just look at their crown-in-heart mark). This would most likely be the importer, fits the time frame when similar pillboxes were being sold here in the US, typically just marked '925':
