I love rummaging around off track, always turns something up - Lot less junk chatter in the phones too.
Snuff box at the top?
I dont know but I thought snuff boxes were generally called coffins - they put you in the snuff box when you have snuffed it!
Not sure what that is its copper and enamel can’t get it open!
Would have to be bigger than this one then!
Can you get some better pics of it?
That’s a beauty half crown well done.
Thanks cosmo they are so hard to find! This is only my second H/H
I think Mudwiggle is a very clever fellow because I am sure that he has hit it on the head - yes indeed - my money says that its a snuff box. Actually somewhere here I have a tin of snuff.
Actually that reminds me of the kids programme that promoted drugs by naming the programme or character in the programme ‘Puffnsnuff’ - or was that Pufnstuf?

Hi steptoeandson
it looks like cloisonne enamel. Differently 19 century. Probably worth few bob to a collector.
Nice find. Problem you have is not to damage it while trying to open it. Good luck.
