[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9560394, member: 2844"]Both vitry's box and the box Davey posted are Hanau.;) The one Davey posted bears the marks of the Gebrüder (Brothers) Dingeldein. Vitry's box could be by Wolf & Knell, but I'm not entirely sure. But the general look of the marks is that of classic Hanau pseudo marks. The Hanau makers used pseudo marks, but that doesn't mean their work isn't excellent. They made some beautiful silver. The tradition was started by Calvinist Protestant refugees from France and the Low Countries, who brought their French and Dutch skills with them to Hanau.[/QUOTE]
