Who is Dutch pill box maker?

Post by SilverK »

This Dutch engraved pill box was made in Schoonhoven in 1857 by a maker whose mark looks a bit like 'W over 33'. The 'W', though, doesn't quite look like a straightforward 'W'. Could it be a conjoined V H, perhaps, or similar? I can't find the maker and was hoping that the forum may be able to help. I look forward to any response.

Hi SilverK,

VH conjoined over 33 could be for: Hermanus Jacobus van Halteren registered in Schoonhoven 1832-1863

Thanks again oel. I think it unlikely that there were any other makers with V conjoined H marks at the same time (above 33) and, now I know who the maker was, I've been able to find a couple of examples on the net, one with the engraving of a buggy, rather than generic foliage. So I'm confident this is an accurate attribution, thanks.
