@rostanf Thanks! Its always interesting to read and snuff and snuff accessories I always feel pipes (which I love) get more attention when it comes to historical resources and info etc so its great to get some for snuff too Ive posted a couple of bits on here so fingers crossed we can get an online library of sorts going :slight_smile:

You’re welcome. Agreed and fingers crossed here as well. I am most interested in snuff boxes as opposed to snuff bottles. It seems info on boxes is greatly lacking or just flippantly applied to any small box that seems old. Cheers.

Yeah I agree I have a small collection of pewter snuff boxes that I will post on here soon But a lot of the time when you see snuff boxes for sale they could be old pill or trinket boxes

Thank you for the book. I have enjoyed both reading and looking at the author’s collection of snuffboxes and -bottles.

Thanks for sharing. I love old tomes like this. A completely different way of writing and sharing knowledge about hobbies still relevant today.
