OT- Internet Findings

Because I made a few mistakes, I already bought a soap Dish and a little ashtray, which I thought would be snuff boxes… I thought this would be a nice topic. Maybe also to show others interested. My first one, which I really like : http://link.marktplaats.nl/416051886 He want’s to start the bidding @ 90 Euro.

This one starts bidding @ €50 I would like to see the inside first though. http://link.marktplaats.nl/414431097

I think the first is a tobacco box and would have to loose a lid for snuff, although I’d like to hear another opinion on that. I think the second IS a snuff box due to the longer hinge and the fact that it seems to fit snugly with the lid. A closer look would help but my opinion is that its a relatively safe buy. Don’t forget; you will never get the same impression as seeing it in real life.

Ok ok ok, I bought this one, 15$ :slight_smile: Liked it because it’s old. Maybe it doesn’t even close well, I don’t care. AND I know for SURE it’s a snuffbox :slight_smile:

@Micheltn Actually that’s a great find! Especially for $15…I love old wood snuff boxes and have bid on 3 almost identical to this one(lost all 3 bids btw dammit!) All 3 that I bid on ended up going for $30 or more, and these were on the low side. I’ve seen these boxes go for close to $100 depending on the extra details…mother of pearl inlay etc. Great find you lucky dog!!

Thanks FischTix. I hope the Lid closes ok, So I can actually use it. Your up early or do you live in Europe ?

Hahaha…up late is more like it. Insomnia is so awesome!! :wink: Edit: I’m in the states…it’s about 4:30 a.m.

Ah :wink: The company I work for has it headquarters in Atlanta. I love to call my collegue’s there at there Cellphones at this time :wink:

I grew up just outside of Atlanta…what a small world! I’m in South Carolina now…about four hours away from there.

Very similar to the one I just got. Its nice!

nice. I don’t know why but I don’t want a snuff box unless it’s flip top. I’ve tricked myself into almost accepting other ones.

I got it! I am very happy with it! It looks, sounds and smells old. See piccies :slight_smile: Any body has a good idea how to smoothen the lid movement a bit … Wax maybe ?

Nice man!! That’s EXACTLY the style I’ve been placing bids for on ebay…I want one so bad i can’s stand it…lol! Nice find!

Thanks FT! I’m very happy with it too! And I’m going to fill it up with Old Paris, perfect.

NICE! That’s just so vintage man…I’m extremely happy for ya!! You finally came out on top congrats!! :slight_smile:

Very nice indeed!
