[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2370485, member: 2844"]Lovely little box, moon.:) I agree, it is 1856. I can't read the maker's mark either, it could be SG and two digits, but I couldn't find any mark that resembled it. Marks made up of two letters and two digits are found on 19th century silver. In Dutch silver these small squarish boxes are peppermint boxes. Dutch snuff boxes are also small, but they are rectangular or oval. Here is a peppermint box from the same period, the site is in Dutch, but to give you an idea: [URL]https://zilver.nl/antiek-zilver/zilveren-pepermuntdoosje-uit-1850.html[/URL] Zilveren pepermuntdoosje means silver peppermint box.[/QUOTE]
