Antique German silver snuff box, featuring a cast scene of Putti playing music, drinking and playing generally to the lid. The box sides have a cast floral frieze.

The box carries several marks to the edge of the lid:
The German hallmarks of a crescent (double struck), a crown and "800" confirm it is 800 grade silver.
There are two further marks. One identifies the maker as J D Schleissner & Sӧhne of Hanua. The other, a "b" in a shield, we have not determined further.
J D Schleissner (Johann Daniel Christian Schleissner) was founded c1819, and continues to operate now. The mark on this piece is post 1888.

The box is 7.5 cm (3") wide by 3.2 cm (1.3"), and is 1.6 cm (.6") deep. It weighs 39 grams.
All measurements are approximate.
The snuff box is in very good condition. The lid closes with a click and holds fast. There are no significant dents, and only light surface scratching can be seen to the base.
Please study all photos as these form an important part of the description.
