Snuff box from a pill/snuff/trinket box?

now ive seen a lot of “pill boxes” that would not make suitable snuff boxes but THIS one type i think would because of HOW the lid sits in the inside look at how the lid divets down to where the removable plastic/ebony compartment it looks like it presses down ONTO the edges of the insert with no gap between the edge of the insert and the edge of the lid. it qwould make a small gap between the sides of the lid and walls ABOVE the insert it comes in atg around an inch and a half by 3/4ths and inc and half an inch deep. the one i ordered has a picture of the collesseum on it what are your thoughts? it would make a fancy snuff box as is or maybe with very slight modifications!

I fear that large notch right under the hinge might leak snuff all over your pocket if you carried it around.

damn i didnt notice that. is there anything i can do to fix that?

thought it does kinda look like the roiunbded part might block off that area from leak. thats what im hoping anyways let me see if i can find more pictures

guess i wont know till monday

I have the same box shape wise that I got off eBay which described it as a snuff box. Been using it for a year now and no leakages, mind you it doesn’t stay fresh for long.
