Like you said 800 with what may be the Cairo or Alexandria assay office mark. I can&#039;t see it well enough to be sure of the city. The mark to the right is possibly the guarantee mark. Before 1946 it would be a cat. After 1946 a lotus flower was used. Not sure about your mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again I think the mark on the right is a date letter. &quot;Date letters until 1946 were written using Roman numerals. After 1946, arabic letters were used.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://hallmarkwiki.com/?country=egypt" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hallmarkwiki.com/?country=egypt" rel="nofollow">http://hallmarkwiki.com/?country=egypt</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an Egyptian pill boxes that probably has the markings as yours but missing the guarantee mark.</p><p><a href="http://925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13390" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13390" rel="nofollow">http://925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13390</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
