On offer is an antique engraved brass snuff box, a large oval example with a rubbed and partially illegible inscription to the lid. Despite the wear to the engraving, the box itself remains in very good condition, with a smooth patinated surface and secure fitting lid. Its generous size and traditional form make it a notable example of a brass snuff box from the 19th century or earlier.

Brass snuff and twist boxes were widely used for personal tobacco storage, often engraved with names, dates or sentiments that reflected ownership or gift-giving. The softened and time-worn engraving on this piece adds to its historical character, suggesting long use and handling over many decades.

A solid and appealing brass snuff box, ready for display or collection.
