Hopefully some one may know what these hall marks are. I believe they are French and have found a similiar looking Dog Face on the 925-1000 silver site under french - towns and city marks before 1789 in the letter O section, town of Orleans commencing using the dog face mark in the year 1611. One of the marks looks like it could be 90 or 900 for silver content, the other mark looks like a shield.
Mr Punch is carved out of a solid piece of ivory, the silver collar with the hall marks has a design which looks like to me to represent the decorative trim on a booth that the puppet performers would do their show in. Both of these pieces look like they have some age to them. The cigar cutter appears to me to have been replaced at some time, it does not have and marking on it.
All comments, suggestions are appreciated.................Thanks
