[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 4291492, member: 88"]I have had this box for a while now & I really need to send it to a new home. :rolleyes::rolleyes: I do want to make sure I am understanding & describing it correctly. I was told by [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] when I first got it that it was Hannau silver. I don't remember if she told me or if I found it on my own but my notes have the marks ID'd as being from Karl Kurz Silberwarenfabrik Kesselstadt. This piece is 2 7/8" by 1 5/8" across the lid & is 7/16" deep. It weighs 38 grams. My questions are; 1 - Is Hannau silver considered sterling silver? 2 - What do the second set of marks on the bottom represent? 3 - Is there any meaning to the marks shown in the last photo that are on the lid?
