Item Details


Before the introduction of cigarettes loose tobacco 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. 


Snuff and tobacco boxes came in all shapes and materials from the early Chinese snuff bottles to very basic plain tins.


This is a snuff box in the form of a Victorian woman's boot. 


The box is in good overall condition.


Dimensions: 10cm long x 6cm high x 3cm wide
