18th century horn snuff box
jdm:
Heres a nice little horn box . I don't know who the maker was but over the last thirty years I've seen three by him. I wish I could read the wrighting on this. Does any know what language it is? I believe the date is 1797 .
I have a feeling the two women have some unkind remaks for who pants those are.
PhDBrewer:
Could we get the second image in focus please?
Thanks,
William
Mike blair:
Flemish is a good possibility.
jdm:
PhdBrewer , Sorry I loaded the wrong image. I've also posted a picture of it next to the other one I have by the same maker to show how small it is.
Mike ,Thanks for your suggestion. Flemish was not on my radar but it is now. Iwas told German or Pennsylvania Dutch by another collector. If someone would other images please let me know. I'll see what I can come up with . Thanks
