    It is truly lovely Shangas and the condition is remarkable. I have never seen one with the interior lever and tab.

    I suspect that that is a tobacco box rather than a snuff box. It is rather large and is clearly not a table snuff.

    No, not a table-snuff. Round base. Would wobble too much.

    Do you mean a tobacco box as in, for pipe-tobacco or something?

    Just so. It is large enough for a day's supply.
