Please see attached photographs of a rather nice cast silver gilt salt cellar. The marks are on each of the feet and consist of the double headed eagle a letter D and the makers mark which is either TB or IB.

It is not possible to attach pictures directly from your computer - you will have to upload your pictures to an online picture host. I note that in a previous post you used Tinypi; this service has now closed so we now suggest
https://postimages.org (choose 'Share', then copy and paste the 'Hotlink for forums' code to embed your images).

Just looking at the information you provided, the double headed eagle, the letter D year letter and the maker's mark TB. Educated guess. I believe the silver salt could be Dutch. Double headed eagle town mark of Middelburg used 18th century. Maker's mark
T.B for: Toussaint Brunel, registered in Middelburg 1758- 1791. The year letter D for Middelburg 1767.
Again proper images are required also for confirmation. For information how to attach embedded images:

Yes, indeed double headed eagle town mark of Middelburg, used mid 18th century. Maker's mark
T.B for: Toussaint Brunel, registered in Middelburg 1758- 1791. The year letter D for Middelburg 1767.
The double headed eagle or so called
Grote Keur of Middelburg in 1767 guaranteed a minimum silver fineness of
10 penningen 18 grein circa 896/1000.
