Item Details

A smart Victorian snuff box made from horn with a paler coloured polished horn to the lid.


Before the introduction of cigarettes, loose tobbaco was sold, at this same time snuff was also used, this would be made from grinding tobacco to a fine powder, this would be inhaled through the nostrils, unlike tobacco which had to be placed in a receptacle such as a pipe and then ignited before smoking.


Condition is good and closes well
