The post by @Mouse “Handy if you are out in the woods deer hunting, less likely to get shot while taking a pinch.”
Reminds me of a hilarious article that I read many years ago here in the UK.
Not sure if it was about Canada or USA but apparently when the hunters go out into the woods and wilds, deer hunting, they manage to shoot, maim, and kill quite a few of their fellow hunters each year.
One of the reasons given was the use of white toilet tissues.
Apparently after being caught short, and whilst squatting down in the bushes twitching a bunch of white toilet tissue in their nether regions, other hunters mistook them for white tailed dear, and subsequently let loose with their guns.
Hence the deaths and injuries.
The advice from the hunting groups and powers that be was to take bright pink coloured toilet rolls with you, and you would be less likely to be mistaken for a white tailed dear.
So it begs the question…Where are you chaps putting your snuff, if a bright orange snuff box is safer whilst out hunting? :-O
By the way, the article in the newspaper was the genuine thing.
only have one but I love it. One of the plastic mr snuff boxes. It fills up with a days usage for me and if I lose it I won’t cry. Someday I want a nicer special occasions snuff box though.
@bob hey bob its realy magic i am guarding it with my life.
it was love on first sight!
screw food who needs that anyways right
i find the scene is just amazing with its raytracing 3d kind of style.
the oxidation on the silver draws in the details like some modern graphic cards shadow and ambient occlusion while letting the sunlight tickle the box draws in highlights similar to hdr and bloom.
in reality you can see even more details and i am still marveling at the beauty giving me goosebumps.
Searching boxes on ebay… time to put the phone down before I do something stupid! Some neat selections up there. Looks like a lot from UK and many of those do have bids so I’m not the only fool looking. My sister- and mother-in-law do the flea market & antiques circuit as a pastime. I might finally tag along to see if there’s anything interesting by chance and stay off ebay for now. Thanks for the obsession guys & gals
Also what type of metal is this? Would like an idea of toxicity I cleaned it with soap & water and dried & rubbed down but should I sand it with 2000 grit and clean again?
