The staves are marked at bottom edge: assay mark [lion rampant in crowned shield]; maker's mark for Hendrik Kramer [HK in oval]; Amsterdam city mark [partial of Saint Andrew's Crosses]; date letter [W] for 1756.
The two internal cross-brace sections of each are marked: Hoorn city mark [horn hanging from a bow]; maker's mark [IH] possibly for Jan Hoep, probably as restorer; assay mark [lion rampant without crown in shield]; date mark [W] for 1807.
