Could someone please tell me anything they know about these two little pewter bottles, especially about the manufacturer’s name and country. I’d also love to know what their value is as I have only found one other one with a different shape but almost the same front markings, for $189. The mark on the bottom rim says 96% or something like that which I believe refers to the tin content.[attachment]Snuff bottles front.jpg[/attachment][attachment]Snuff bottle front.jpg[/attachment][attachment]Snuff bottle marks.jpg[/attachment]

The first link referenced was for SKS pewter The word Kein in German just means “No” or a variation there of !! So it is not a factory or Mfrs name !!
The second link has been reduced to $129.!! We will see how low it goes !!

Thanks for that, Martha, but I d think they might be more in line with what I found here:

I think I mentioned that the only reference I can find anywhere is to a similar one for sale here: https://www.rubylane.com/item/1415055-a301/Victorian-Snuff-Tobacco-Bottle-Germany-Engraved

Other then this, I’m ‘snuffed’.

Only thing I found on these is Krusius Brothers !! Still not sure about them !! They worked in other metals but did not find any reference to work in pewter !!
