Victory at Trafalgar in 1805 Multi Nation Flags II Single Shot Infantry RifleOriginal Item: One of a Kind. This is fascinating! This is a very interesting silver plated steel tinder or snuff box, measuring 2 3 4" x 1 3 4" with a hinged lid. The top bears a fouled anchor amid foliage, engraved or etched, but now quite faint. It still locks closed correctly, though the button must be pressed quite hard to open it. The interior of the lid a very old label has been pasted in stating Granduncle Mother'sJohn Tarts'Tinder Box
