You can,like GreenGrass says, see interestings pictures about snuff on this W.Sharrow link : http://www.sharrowmills-online.com/company/image_library.html ,officials marks Sites are always goods to discover some détails about it.
This excellent site relates to a tour of the Kendal tobacco and snuff industry. It’s been posted here before, but contains many interesting photographs for those who didn‘t catch it first time. (If you are not too familiar with German and wish to read the text then enter the web address in a translator.) http://www.pfeife-tabak.de/Artikel/Reiseberichte/Gawith/gawith.html The figurehead for Gawith Hogarth (resembling a character from Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio) is a fine example of Turquerie. What is seen today is a copy; the original was so old it crumbled away in 1970. Bob Gregory is seen in Ring O’ Bells, a pub purpose built as such in 1746 (one can almost hear the Kendal hell-hound howling dismally somewhere out on the rain-sodden hills). Mrs. Cannon is seen with the most noisome snuff mull imaginable. Pictures show the processing of tobacco (including ropes) and, of course, snuff. Unlike other manufacturers Sam Gawith use ancient machinery for grinding, now powered by electricity. Both the authors of the tour and Ermtony (who visited a while back) can testify to the deafening noise once the machinery chugs into life. The tastes of small numbers of customers are catered for. A tobacco blend called ‘Flycatcher’, for example, is made by Samuel Gawith for two gentlemen in Scotland. As the pictures show, production is largely by hand and archaic machinery in the time-honoured way using (in some cases) original recipes dating back to 1792. Only the packaging is modern.
Great pictures. Should I have the opportunity to travel overseas to the UK, I will definitely pay a visit to Sam Gawith and WoS factories.
There’s some sites interestings about snuff,beteween others,if you don’t know already,snuff reviews.com,with some analysis ,of guys of here and others,interesting to feel deeply products.
Here’s something different. I took about 0.5g of snuff and used it to make brownish faux gemstone. Added some green and orange for contrast and produced my first pen made out of “SnuffStone” (the brown one on the bottom left). Its ballpoint with copper fittings but Im working on a gold plated version as well.
I think I it’s for your two pencils as to S.Gawith factory and WoS factory,both are essentials,two versions of best english taste. :-B
