Nice.@ schmalzlerfranzl I can’t wait to hit up our local flea markets/Bazar. My wife about dropped dead when I said I’d go antiquing with her.

S

I use those coin tins that are on eBay. Screw capped and airtight. I will put some pics of my boxes on asap.

@schmalzlerfranzl your beautiful English silver box was likely meant to be a receptacle for keeping pipe tobacco. Snuff boxes from the Victorian era tend to be rectangular, smaller, and almost always with wider (and shielded) hinges. Nevertheless, a very nice example!

@Johano I have one of those rosary boxes with Pope John Paul II on it that I got for my communion, exact same design never used it for snuff but it seems like it would work good as a tabletop snuffbox.

B

Just got the Russian lacquer box today and the bottle this past week. Bernard’s KM goes in the box and Viking Blonde in the bottle. Edit: I fail at posting photos. Please help!

Can’t upload a photo for some reason using my phone. Will try again later. Sorry about that.

I have one of those metal coin boxes that opens/closes via metal threads. But its too tiny to get my fingers in for a pinch! I’ve tried using a tiny metal spoon which I think I ordered from an online head shop of some kind. Don’t think the spoon was mean’t for snuff! Anyway…by the time I’ve unscrewed the top and managed to get the tiny spoon full of snuff, I’ve kind of lost the urge. LOL! Cheers, DocHolliday

Just reusing empty tins now, I lost my long serving Sharrow’s wooden box walking the dog. I hope whoever found it will enjoy the Mysore Sandalwood it contained.

Is a sliding lid box in need of the magnets I’ve seen on some? If given a choice would that be preferable.

H

@Herfordshire I have both versions of the sliding box. The two I own without magnets proved nice tight fits especially following a thin coating of beeswax along the runners and at either end.

Thank you…I just got a flap type st Claude one on eBay literally today…I have been using a green dragon tin that does the job really well…it’s actually quite nice snuff now and then also.
