Re: Old Prussian Snuff Box - Need help dating
Your comment "I think it is Johann Friedrich Ritthammer (M1790-1815) in Neisse (Silesia)", is very interesting and based on some more research I've done makes sense. Why do you think this?
Thanks
Thanks

I believe that the FR is that of "Gebruder Friedlander" who was the Court Jewelers for Princess Louise of Prussia from 1860 on. Also the crown matches up with a previous Prussian Prince, Prince Heinrich of Prussia(1726-1802) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Royal_Monogram_of_Prince_...

Re: Old Prussian Snuff Box - Need help dating
I believe it is the mark of a Prince. The only example that I have found is Prince Heinrich of Prussia.
