18th-century silver miniature coal shovel made by the silversmith Abraham van der Hoeff from Haarlem. He was active from 1705 to 1735.

The miniature is hallmarked with the Haarlem city mark and the master's mark of a stag. It is also hallmarked with two tax marks, a crowned 'o' and the letter 'j'.

The master's mark did not resemble a stag; it was so worn that it looked more like a fish. The guild then urgently advised him to replace his mark. (Het Haarlemse zilversmidgilde 1500-1800, A.J. Bruitsman, p. 77). From 1734 onwards, he again used a master's mark that more closely resembled a stag.

In good condition.

Equipped with a tremolier mark to determine the silver content.

Weight: 8.3 grams. Dimensions: 2 x 9 cm.
