E & D KINSEY SILVER MARK

Edward and David KinseyQ: I have a silver ladle that is marked E & D Kinsey. Can you tell me who made it and how old it is?

A: Your ladle was made by Edward and David Kinsey in Cincinnati, Ohio. Edward worked from 1834 to 1861 and his brother, David, worked from 1840 to 1870. Your ladle was made sometime between 1844 and 1861, the years the brothers worked together. They made flatware and hollowware and were the major silver manufacturers in Cincinnati during that time.

Have been searching for information on a box with either brass or other heavy metal, gold in color. On all sides including top shows what looks to be a king and queen holding a baby praying some holding a cross others a sword. Could be Christ. very ornate inside lined with wood and stamped on bottom Germany can anyone give me an idea of value and what the age is
