constanius Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 31mm thin silver. NANERL WAS BRINGST DU MIR. (Nanerl what bringst you to me) Exe. EW. HOCHW. LEIB SPEISE. (Your Reverend's favourite food/dish) Not sure what this is but have seen a silver lid, on a German 19th century tobacco pipe, with the same inscription & an almost identical scene. I am not sure if there is an innuendo in the inscription but the serving-girl is showing quite a lot of leg, amongst other things. I am hoping someone will know more about this.

Maybe it's my dirty mind but the mark on the reverend's lap suggests what you suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
