[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 4303762, member: 17467"]Hello again, Hope you are all keeping well. I would like to ask your opinion on the attached sewing kit. I have purchased it and would like to know if anyone can identify the letters on the lid. Some of the items inside are hallmarked with an eagle head and few other hallmarks I can't relate to anything, some are hallmarked with a alligator or chrocodile picture, is that even possible? And would they also be solid 18 karat gold ( except for the metal part)? The thimble for example has number 3 inside and one more hallmark looking like a line. I have done some research and seen symilar ones dating from around 1880 to 1900. The box is ivory, tested. Any idea of the design? Thank you all. Best wishes, Simona P.S. I will clean them and post some better photos. [ATTACH=full]348706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]348707[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]348708[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
