    Wisiner of Pest
Is the name known to any reader?

It is stamped in full in upper case "Wisiner" on the base of an ornate silver/gilt box set with stones. Marked "WM" on the thumb piece together with the Austro-Hungarian dog's head, "3" for .800 standard and "P" for Pest.

Possibly dates from the early years of C20th.

I think "Wisiner" is probably a retailer and "WM" the maker. I'd have to see it and the marks to say more, but the only maker with the mark "WM" I have in Pest at the time is Vilmos Meitinszky, working 1863-1868, which fits the time frame of the mark.

Hope this helps!
