Subject:Info on possible Signature on base of brass snuff box please. Thank you
Posted By: Chris Cowham Thu, Sep 10, 2015 IP: 89.243.48.75 I also have this small 1.5 inch square snuff box made of sheet brass. I presume it is reasonable common but wondered on its age, origin and if the marks on the base actually meant something. Please excuse my ignorance again and thank you to all the contributors on this site. I have no knowledge at all on these items but have still spent many hours reading the responses to posts. Great site, great knowledge and great people. Well done all. Chris
