Victorian Papier Mache Pocket Snuff Box Inlaid With Pewter

Victorian papier mâché pocket snuff box inlaid with pewter to lid.

The box opens and closes smoothly with a hinged lid and is in very good condition.

Snuff originated in the Americas and was in common use in Europe by the 17th century. It is a smokeless tobacco made from ground tobacco leaves which is inhaled or "snuffed" through the nose.
