A 19th Century Brass Miners Chewing Tobacco Box Charley Jones

19th century
Description

A 19th century Victorian (probably Welsh) Oval Brass Miners Tobacco box for carrying Tobacco to chew, the hinged cover engraved CHARLEY JONES.

In the 19th century miners often chewed tobacco, a practice which saved many lives, for they spat out the injurious coal dust with the tobacco juice.

Measuring 7 cm x 5 cm x 2 cm and weighs 86.4 grams.

In good antique condition. It has obviously been used a lot, the box shuts but the hinge wiggles, may have been repaired at some point.

A great piece of mining history.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
