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