    Description

    Rare English brass snuff or tinder box circa 1830.
    This charming snuff box has a very detailed incised decoration based on contemporary (circa 1830) prints that satirized scientific and technological advances of the day. The prints were known as "March of Intellect" prints. You can find some very amusing examples of these prints on the Internet.
    A very similar example of this snuff box can be found on the Internet in the collection of the Science Museum Group.
    The box measures about 3 3/4" x 3" x 7/8". The collection is excellent, with a few minor dents.
    Please note that the shipping charge listed is for the U.S. only, for shipping charges elsewhere please inquire.
