Here’s some good info on snuff and snuff boxes. Enjoy. https://archive.org/details/bookofsnuffandsn011626mbp/page/n1

@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

R

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.

B

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

@BillSykes I’m excited to see them, thanks. @volunge thanks for the links!

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.
