they’re a little on the cheap side I’d say. I mean why not show a bunch of smash boxes. No that’s pretty niffty.

Here you go. I can’t afford the whole set do I’m just saving up for a single one, or I might have to settle for a plastic paint pot. We can always dream :

Those are great. I really like the “Just a Pinch” one. So politically incorrect…
:))

Stunning!!

Now i feel inadequate, i used those paint contaniers for a time.

If they work they work! I think it would be sillier to have a £10,000 snuff box instead of a good cheap acrylic container. I can appreciate the beauty of these, especially the first and last ones, but personally I would still choose a nice simple natural wooden snuff box over the fancy ones. But I’m still looing for the perfect one my tins atm suffice.

I’d buy the just a pinch one in a heartbeat. (Up to a certain price…)

That “Just A Pinch” one is awesome, I’d love to have that box

Has anyone ever thought to commission a snuffbox from a local jeweler or silversmith?

I would really like to see a snuffhouse approved box for us all to buy!! Preferably in some unusual yet affordable material…maybe nickel plated brass or paper mache…hmmmm

The ‘Just a Pinch’ one is $30 to $40.Just a Pinch tin I think it’s just the lid though and it’s made for copenhagen snuff. There’s similar ones here where the base is sold seperately. : Base You can get it elsewhere as silver & gold too :Here

It looks like it’s made for skoal/copenhagen so it just pops on the top of that and serves as the lid. I guess you can just put anything in there but I’m not sure of the size of it other than it comes in 2 different sizes.

Some more snuff boxes :

Yep they are, albeit very strange, actually snuff boxes :

These are much more my style, which I saw on ermtony’s site made by : Link

And for the heavy snuffers out there when a snuff box isn’t enough and only a suitcase will do  :

It’s Reginald Spleen’s travelling snuff bar.

I like that!  =D>

Oh…made for a skoal can. Still very cool

Yeah I was just updating it as you wrote that. I guess you can put anything in there but it looks like it’s made as a lid for skoal & copenhagen snuff.

I personaly find the just a pinch lid pretty offensive. If the woman had a diffrent expression on here face otherwise then looking like oh “f###” I’d think it was cool. Just my opinion.

They’re described as “comical cowboy themes”, stereotypical drunk cowboy I guess for that one, and they are a bit tongue in cheek The ones in the ‘base’ link are similar but without that blue.

whos reginald spleen ?

Crazy:

whoa  thats great some good partys  there i reckon

Reginald Spleen has my dream job. I’ve thought about doing something lke that. I know people that do it with wine. I wonder does he make any money doing that.

Not a lot! 80)

Well, that answers that. Still looks like a fun side job.

I kinda do the same thing at work w/my backpack, few takers though(its usually limited to me)

    Many years ago, I aquirred a brass box that I later found out was made in sweden and it was made by a company called BO-STROM. I love this little guy. A few months ago, I found a clone on ebay. Two lids, one on the bottom, one at the top. (or other side) both lids look the same. heres the deal;, the bottom lid opens and there is a mirror. I got mine for around fifty five. some seller had one up for eight hundred bucks! No matter what kind you get I suggest getting these little Humi things that are filled with green foam. i never had a box dry up.

        P.s. Years ago, my mother gave me a pewter box. Round. made by comoys. On the front lid was a cross with a rose. The box was "borrowed " and sold. Please let me know if you ever see it

                                                                                                         Many thanks

you know there is only so much gold. What I’am saying is more of it should be for snuff boxes.

I agree bob.  Just wish I could afford one.  Right now I could safely bid since it’s worth much more in gold value alone.

Good to see you back Pat.
