I have the one RCastle showed and they are table top snuffboxes, they are too big and heavy to be carrying around in your pocket and the lids don’t lock tight so you’d end up with a pocket full of snuff but leave it on a table top and they are attractive and functional pieces.
That’s a table box, mr snuff sells the same ones (or similar) it will be way too big for a pocket box. Air is the enemy, you don’t want a lot of open space in your suffbox. Just enough space to store snuff for a day’s use or it will dry out.
Ok so i found a silver Snuffbox online to bid on for only a starting bid of one dollar. It’s got a week left on it , i hope i can get it cause its a type I would really love to own ( about the size and shape of a match box and hinged on the long side…oh and yes…made sure to be certain of the size
@RCastle that looks like a good box. @basement_shaman has given very good advice in the past about how to keep wooden boxes like that one in good condition.
For carry, I only want a sealed container (good tap boxes like poschl/bernard, Toque screw tops). I have had numerous WOS style tins open while inside my pockets.
That size is roughly equal to how I fill my couch-side snuff container. I would assume it can hold 25g, which will last me about a week when at home (3 hours a night on weekdays, 5 on weekends or 25 waking hours). I leave mine uncovered, and it holds a snuff’s scent until used.
I’ve got 2 solid silver tins, hallmarked 1911 and 1913, both used on a daily basis, and a solid brass from the early 1900s that I need to repair before using. Sorry I haven’t figured out how to post piccies yet
