French Tastevin? 1798? Any suggestions

Hi friends
Bonjour

Watch case ? 1824

I have a watch case and looking at the flattened lions head with no crown and the shape of the i, I am thinking 1824 but I could be wrong.

Re: Small Ladle - Dublin - maker MK, date letter rubbed

Cheers Trev
Appreciated.
I wonder if, given the MK is clear but the crowned harp and probably the Hibernia mark are rubbed, whether these are further examples of Keating
forgeries and in fact he was a serial forger.

Small Ladle - Dublin - maker MK, date letter rubbed

Hi Guys
I wonder if anyone would hazard a guess at the date of this small ladle which I presume carries a Dublin hallmark. The Maker is MK but the other two marks are fairly rubbed. I am wondering if possibly the date letter could be 1694 but I could be way off.
Any guesstimates gratefully received ...
