Hi All,

Silver snuff box questions for the forum.

I've been on a quest this last few months looking for suitable silver snuff box suppliers. Finding a box specifically made for snuff has proven to be a bit of a headache.The job has been harder than I thought, most boxes described as silver snuff boxes are actually pill boxes...

I think I've found the answer - a UK based silver smith who still manufacturers .925 sterling silver snuff boxes. The problem being is that I've now got about 15 or so to choose from. It's like walking through a parched desert and then stumbling on 15 waterholes at the same time!

I've listed three of them here silver snuff box, but need your help before ordering any quantities.

Is it worth me stocking these items?
What would you expect to pay for a sterling silver .925 snuff box?
Would people actually buy them?

From a Snuff Store point of view, the initially order outlay will mean quite a large expense 'cash wise' to be able to obtain a reasonable wholesale price from the manufacturer. I obviously will be happy to take this 'risk' if the consensus is positive.

Your help is appreicated!

On looking at the wholesale prices, retail would end up I imagine somewhere between £50 - 60. The round silver box that reminds me of a Ozona Raspberry tin at the low end, the other two rectangle boxes at the high end.

Yeah those are the 3 that I pointed out from Ari D. Norman. I do have the plain silver rectangular box. I love the box. Its a beautiful piece of silver. The lid opens and shuts with a snap and seals tight. Here are the pics of it actually in my hand so you can get a better look at it. I would recommend if someone is looking for a silver box, to go with one of these made by Ari D. They are quality made. They look sharp and feel good in the hand. Good amount of silver as well. For the size mine weighed 32.8 grams.

Well I did get a screaming deal on mine. But after having it in my hand and seeing the quality of the craftsmanship, they are definitely worth the price you mentioned NoseBag.

I like the plain rectangular on as well!! If a reasonable price I'd go for one!

Every time I see the Trout's silver snuffbox I need to say : Great purchase !...well done Brian!...really pretty and ellegant snuffbox.

Both the plain and patterned rectangular boxes are quite elegant and would make a lovely addition to anyones snuff collection.

It was such a good deal because it came from a store that was going out of business and they were selling all their leftover stock on ebay for whatever they could get. There is about $30 worth of silver alone at the current silver price, not to mention all the work gone in to make it. Ari D. Norman does do some great silver work. They are definitely high quality.
