Unidentified Snuff Box

HI,

Probably a long shot here, but wondering if anyone recognises the makers mark on this box and if I get that I will get the origin and a rough idea of date.

Looks like to pellets over IL

Thanks in advance

Re: Small Knife in Case

Thanks for your thoughts and I suppose all could be considered,

However, again to small for a letter opener, the tooth pick option I had thought about and I see someone has been calling it that but in my opinion it would most probably cause cuts etc , and no way would I be putting this in my mouth ...

Small Knife in Case

HI ,

I wonder does anyone have any ideas what the intended purpose of this small knife would have been for

It is in a case which you would expect to open and find a pencil inside.

The length of case excluding the suspension loop is 76mm, length of knife is 70mm, length of blade is 41mm.

Thanks ...

Re: What are these?

Hi,

Thanks for your thoughts, I discounted Cribbage as I have only played using 2 pegs and both players would have different colours, red and white for example.

Bridge? I can find nothing out about that being played using scoring pegs?

Colin
