So I've been perusing the internet for a snuffbox that's a bit ornate in design but not antique. So my question is are there any snuffbox makers that make more ornate snuffboxes out of metal that can keep snuff for an extended period of time (3 or 5 days) that isn't antique as I would love to buy one that I can take with me where I go. I don't mind the heft of a metal snuffbox just would like a nice design.

The only one I know of that still makes snuffboxes is Regnas. Their boxes are beautiful and functional and completely snuff proof but they are damn expensive. The price of them goes up every year, the price has skyrocketed in the years since I bought mine. I got a gold plated sterling silver box with Sea Urchin fossil lid for $160 now the identical box is selling for $550.

@dan11 yeah I saw that this vendor sells these types of coin boxes and as for the one you linked I very much like these ones as well do you how well these keep snuff or are they pretty much like 1 or 2 days worth of snuff and that's it kind of box
I plan to have one made, myself. There are plenty of nice looking coin replicas available for cheap, so if you have a favorite coin that would cost a bundle (like I do), you can commission some of these craftsmen to make you a custom box and only look like you might be rolling in dough, so to speak.
I figured I would leave this information here in hopes that it may find someone thinking like I was. About having a coin box made. With different coins than what those cats offer. You get the picture.
I have purchased this exact same snuff box from Mr. Snuff years ago : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CELTIC-PILLBOX-STERLING-SILVER-925-HALLMARKED-NEW-FROM-ARI-D-NORMAN/272300690628?_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIM.MBE&ao=2&asc=20140122125356&meid=2f1a6d1e4ec94397b7cecac4bfe722fe&pid=100005&rk=3&rkt=12&sd=272296311539&itm=272300690628&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
The box is in perfect condition. If anyone is interested please send me a private message.
Thank you
