<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 109237, member: 44&quot;]Yes, several French provinces used crowned Ts, but I haven&#039;t found this exact crowned T in Tardy&#039;s <i>International Hallmarks on Silver</i> for any of the French provinces/communities/towns. Those I found in Tardy that used a crowned T were:</p><p>Angers in 1742</p><p>Dunkirk in 1780</p><p>Issoire in the 17th century</p><p>La Mans, Tours in 1698</p><p>Nantes in 1744</p><p>Paris, mark of the Maison Commune in 1735</p><p>Rennes in 1732, 1776</p><p>Toulon in late 18th century</p><p><br /></p><p>Crowned Ts were also early on used by Belgium in the 1600s, and no doubt by other countries. I just don&#039;t think this box is as old as the 1600s and 1700s. There are others more knowledgeable on continental silver than I am. Hopefully they will chime in later today. Some of the people only check in a couple of times a week sooooo it may take a few days for any help.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
