I found another “catarrh” snuff, this one is Dr. Marshall. I don’t know if its a tobacco snuff. Two of them are up now, both from the same seller. Perhaps a snuffhouse member is curious enough to try them out for us.Doctor Marshall’s Catarrh Snuff IDoctor Marshall’s Catarrh Snuff IILots of other goodies up now too. I saw a ceramic Pöschl bottle, a Wilson’s table snuffbox, and lots of unopened tins of American snuffs. Also a very cool tin, that might make a good snuffbox from Premier Golden Snuff, Durham, N.C.
The Doc Marshalls may not be tobacco snuff, apparently there were quite a few medicinal sniffing powders on the market back in the day, interesting though…

True, I’ve taken it for years for a back injury, got a couple of grammes sitting in the cupboard for if it flares up. Nasty to give it up after takling it for a while though, the CT is a living death…
Morphine doesn’t get along with me very well. I have only had it once, and it did not end well. I had visions of strange little men dancing about my hospital room throwing flowers out of a picnic basket, and the stuffed animal I got as a get well present came to life and started eating me alive. Now they say I can’t have it anymore.
Pliers.
if cork screw does not fit, try using a wood screw with a large thread…
I asked the ghost of my greatgrandpa he said we are all a bunch of jive turkeys (he trys to stay on top of the modern slang) and as adults we should all know that you just use your teeth on a cork like that. (J.k. of course.)
here’s a new one:2 vintage snuffsThe asking price is insane?
now heres something for you guys to check out, starting bid of $0.99 Original Dr. Rumney’s
anyone else think that Dr Rumney looks a bit suprised and taken aback??? Like someone jumped out from behind the bushes to take his photo. Or is that just me?
@Xander; I think the seller is either underestimating the intelligence of the average snuff taker or overestimating the value of old, stale and possibly tainted snuff.
@bob If yer grandpappie is trying to keep up with the slang he’s about 30 years behind.
that’s just Bob’s sense of humor. He’s a real hoot! (I try to keep up with the slang too)
Of course he’s 30 years behine, he’s an old geezer
glad someone got that a geezer trying to be hip would be a little behind (especialy if he was a ghost).

Doesn’t really look like a snuff box to me. Probably some old promotional item.
