It has hallmarks on the lid and the box. From what I can see from the date it looks like Chester 1726 but I could be way off. Can anybody tell what it was used for please?
It also has numbers etched into the lid to the left of the hallmarks.

Re: Silver Box
Hi,
Your box was indeed made in Chester but in 1901. The maker is George Nathan & Ridley Hayes.

Re: Silver Box
Thanks for that.
I did think 1726 was a bit off and can now see the correct date letter.
