    Description

    I have up for sale a wonderful , what i believe to be 18th or early 19th Century , lapped construction birch bark & wood snuff / tobacco box. It missing the little leather pull which would have fit into the hole on the lid.  the piece stands approx 2-3/8" tall , its approx 3" long , and approx 1-3/4" deep . Oval in shape and when you remove the lid and take a whiff , the aroma of sweet tobacco fills ones nostril with the pleasant aroma.
    I have no expertise in this area but I am sure that those of you who are recognize the construction techniques and can figure out the origin. I am leaning toward Scandinavian in nature due to the construction .I also considered an Native American origin but I do not have the knowledge base. If anyone viewing the sale cares to offer their knowledge, it would be appreciated.
