Description

A great example of a Mauchline snuff box.

Pen & ink drawing of a bear and a number of dogs, it is extremely detailed.

The other surfaces are decorated with basket weave again in pen and ink.

The lid is a very good fit.

The tin lining has gone, only traces left. It contained the cowrie shells which will also have worn the lining.

The details in the hand drawing in the Indian ink is quite amazing.

It is in used condition commensurate with age, no major losses.

The hinge is perfect and was developed by a gentleman called John Sandy, but they became known as the Laurencekirk snuff box.
