Title: Victoria Commemorative Silver Snuff Box
Post by: daybase on February 22, 2004, 02:47:46 PM

We have a small silver snuff or pill box with a hinged lid inset with a Queen Victora 6d coin dated 1900 and coloured black.  We assume it is to commemorate death of Queen Victoria but know nothing more.  Anybody got any info.
