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.

One "snuffbox for snuffbox" for my daily snuff and Pope John for Toque USA W&H recently (actually the box was designed for rosary pendant but is suprisingly air tight)

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.

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!
