<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dory64, post: 4599025, member: 17558&quot;]Hi all, I picked up these pieces in a recent online auction, so didn&#039;t get to see the hallmarks (or in one case, that it was unmarked) till they arrived.</p><p>The wee desk - not sure if it&#039;s miniature doll&#039;s house furniture or a stamp box or something. The mark is on the bottom of the desk and very hard to see - but there is what looks like a sickle, so I thought it might be Russian, however couldn&#039;t find such a hallmark. It looks like there are hallmarks on the top of the desk in the first photo but they are part of the design.</p><p>The shoe - a pincushion sans cushion - is marked star 122 AR &amp; 800. I see such marks are Italian but on silvercollection.it the numbers only go up to 119 which is 1970s - I had expected it would be antique.</p><p>Lastly the machine turned snuff box was advertised as silver, and had a weight so I assumed it would be actual silver not plate. It is unmarked but my local antiques dealer acid tested it and said it appeared to be silver.</p><p>As always, thanks in advance for any help you can offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]408747[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408748[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408749[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408751[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408752[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408753[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408754[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408755[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408756[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408757[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
