[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9908434, member: 2844"]A box like this is called a powder compact. It is charming.:) It used to be common in quite a few countries, both in Europe and outside Europe. The triangular mark looks a bit like the old Dutch dolphin mark for items below the legal fineness, but .900 is not below the Dutch legal fineness, and it isn't gold.:confused: I do think it is a European mark, but the Czechoslovakian triangular marks are more 'filled in', with mountains at the bottom, the Slovak cross, and a number indicating the fineness.[/QUOTE]
