I have a couple of bucks to spare and would like to buy a silver snuff box. Can someone please tell me where I can buy same?

E-bay.com sells new/used ones. and you even might get lucky and pick one up for cheap!

I picked up one of the Ari D. Norman snuffboxes that the Snuff Store carries and it it really nice.

Here is a couple from rajeks.round styles

I really like/REALLY want one of these: Snuff Box

@matsnuffs, that’s the one I’m talking about, I got the engraved one though because at the time they were sold out of the plain ones. I was a little bit worried about spending that kind of dough without knowing if it was really going to be a good box. But, they are top notch, hold a decent amount, and don’t seem to leak unless shaken violently (which I do sometimes to mix up my Rooster and Toque Vanilla).

I think I do recall you talking about them snuffegnugen…I think they look really nice.

Snuffstore do silver boxes, I have the one matsnuffs recommends. A very good box, no leakage either. Stefan

What follows are links to silver snuff boxes I recently purchased on eBay and another site. I’m pretty excited and thought I would share: Snuff box 1a Snuff box 1b Snuff box 2a Snuff box 2b Snuff box 3a Snuff box 3b

I received the last two silver snuff boxes today. They are indeed very small boxes - perfect for a day’s amount of snuff. I wanted a few boxes that aren’t as big as the typical Wilson’s wooden boxes, etc. I prefer less air floating around in there and daily refills. Hinge on the rectangular one does accumulate snuff quickly and cause the box to not close properly. This, as has been mentioned, can be helped by brushing it away or tapping to loosen the snuff. I’ve also been using the toothpick thing on my pocket knife thing on my key chain. Typically this does need to be done after each use I’m finding. They close well, stay closed, don’t leak, and have a good weight to them. They have the 925 stamp on the inside front lip. Due to their size, it takes care to take a pinch with fingers to avoid pushing snuff over the sides. All things considered these 2 snuff boxes have enough positives to be replacements for the black smash boxes I’ve been using. I would echo suggestions that snuff is better from a good box!

Forgettingthepill.com also sells pill boxes. I purchased the Large Polished Silver Contoured (716) from them for half the price that I paid for one Ari D. Norman snuff box. There’s some leakage around the lid, but I solved the problem by smearing wax around the inner part of it. Other than that, the sliver box is quite a good deal.

I’ve given this a lot of thought. I really would like to have a silver box but with our exchange rate it’s just to much money. I will have to spend at least R800.00 for a decent box. And then the custom might still grab it and add another 74%. So although I have the money I just don’t like to spend it in that way. I’ve therefor ordered a Walnut box with Maple inlay from mrSnuff. I mean, if walnut is good enough for Rolls Royce, it must be good enogh for me! I know a box made out of wood can never be the same as a silver box. But I’ve made peace with the fact that I will have to do without it. At least I have some decent snuff to fill the walnut box with. I thank everybody who tried to help me.

Just wanted to share my latest find with you. Austro-Hungarian, 1852, maker I.B.S. (probably Vienna) Rococo Nouveau style, engine turned and ingraved. Not a dent! I’ve been waiting for years and years to find a box exactly like this, so I’m a happy snuffer these days :o)

Holy Smokes, Viking, that is a treasure! Congratulations! Sure hope I manage to turn up such a box one day.

Nice one, Viking!

Congrats, Viking! That’s a fine snuff box. I’ve been looking for similar box for some time.

Brother Viking, congratulations!!

Thanx guys! I tried to upload a profile pic where I’m pinching F&T Bordeaux from it - but it won’t work for some reason!

The url is here http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q247/metania/?action=view&current=Bordeaux.jpg

Snuffing in style, Viking! I was expecting a horned helmet, though…

Ha ha, nah today we use night vision goggles and fiber helmets when kicking ass in Helmand :o)

But how the h… do you get a new profile pic? I’ve tried with two urls now - one for photobucket, and one for flickr - no result!

@Viking: Dunno, I use dropbox for most of my hosting. It’s the best free hosting service, ever! Take a look: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTYzNjk3OQ (if you sign in with that link I will get some extra space) Edit: Forgot to add that you, too, will get some extra space with that link…

Is that an open, standing invitation, J-man?

"Is that an open, standing invitation, J-man? " Why yes it is! The more the merrier. Thanks, Mittens!

That’s a really nice silver snuffbox Viking! Got myself another one yesterday on ebay, looking forward to using it.

@snuff-belgium, it seems as if the first owner had a very loving wife who did not mind her husband’s snuffing! What is the date inscribed on the lid? It sure is a beautiful piece. My box is the same shape but not so richly engraved.

It’s not darling in the way tou mean Early Victorian Solid Silver Snuffbox made by Edward Smith in 1854 Genuine early victorian solid silver snuffbox, originally given to Thomas Darling 1816-1893. “Son of George Darling, M. D., Thom as was edu­cated at Charter house and St. John’s College, Cambridge (BA 1838, MA 1841). In 1839, he took Holy Orders, and subsequently be came In cum bent of Thaning ton (near Canterbury), and in 1848 Rector of St. Michael Royal with St. Martin-Vintry, City of London. His works in clude: Hymns for the Church of England (London: Longmans, 1855 & later editions)”. I must say it’s the best one I got so far, doesn’t leak any snuff even the ultra fine ones. What about yours? I love that shape. For everyday use on the road I use mostly the wooden ones from Patrick Collins and Drechsel shop. I do have some issues as of late with the Patrick Collins boxes, the lids are warped out of shape and they start to leak, not much can be done about that I suppose.

I feel a bit humbled when I see all these gorgeous antique silver snuffboxes. I just acquired my first silver one, won in an eBay auction today, and I wanted to show it off. It has a stunning banded agate cabochon set in the lid:Pics of my new snuffbox

@snuff-belgium, my box is solid and does not leak at all. What’s amazing is the snuff staying so fresh in there. I wonder if the gold plating has got anything to do with it. My box was made in 1908.

I’ve GOT to get me one of these. Seems it’d add a lot to the enjoyment of snuff. Only question, are you allowed to use them when you’re not dressed in lots of lace and wearing a powdered wig?

Of course! You can wear a frock coat, silk cravat, and top hat instead, if you like.

Very nice Pipen…!

Thanks. I have something of a fetish for semi-precious stones, so when I saw that box, I knew it was the right one for me.

Well then no problem. Just my normal everyday outfit.

I’m still amazed at how fresh snuff stays in my silver snuff box. I have some Toque Original in it which has been sitting there for more than 2 months now. It is still “like new”, fresh and not dried out at all. How is this possible?

@Pieter I’m guessing that it’s due to either being air tight or perhaps a natural tendency for Silver to impede deterioration of organic matter. Whatever it is, I hope to find something like this, someday. It would be quite classy to carry around my supply in one.
