Dutch snuffbox made of sheet brass; hand-engraved; built around 1720 - 1750; snuffbox has some flaws and old repair sites which indicate a diligent use of the former owner; perhaps this snuffbox was meant as a gift for a traveling merchant; a saying is engraved in the wall: "Vart Wel", Bon Voyage; the lid and bottom engravings suggests that these kind of dutch snuffboxes could be the rule models of the later built Iserlohn snuffbox
