[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 207116, member: 360"]I've been after a silver snuffbox or pillbox for aaaaaages to store my peppermints in. After much, much, MUCH hunting over several years, I finally found one. It was labeled thusly: "Continental Silver. German. Ca. 1900". I have no idea if any of that is true, except that it is marked '800' for continental silver.
