Toranová lists Tobias Knoht as active between 1663 and 1720. A ginger canister of the same design by Knoht is in the Slowakischen Bergbaumuseums (the mining museum) and illustrated E. Toranová, Goldschmiedekunst in der Slowakei, Hanau, 1982, p. 225, no. 255.

The maker's mark is illustrated in E.Kőszeghy, Magyarországi őtvősjegywk a kőzépkortòl 1867-ig [Goldsmiths’ hallmarks in Hungary from the Middle Ages to 1867], Budapest, 1936, p. 327, ref. 1934 and p. 329, ref. 1960.

Selmecbánya known today as Banská Štiavnica is a town in central Slovakia, whose wealth came from the exploitation of its abundant resources of silver ore making it the main producer of silver and gold in the Kingdom of Hungary and the third biggest town in 1782. From the second half of the 19th century, the town suffered from the decline of the mining activity.

For the maker's marks see E. Kőszeghy, Magyarországi őtvősjegywk a kőzépkortòl 1867-ig [Goldsmiths’ hallmarks in Hungary from the Middle Ages to 1867], Budapest, 1936, p. 327, no. 1934 and p. 329, no. 1960.
