Snuff box

A snuff box is a small, fancy box that someone might use to keep snuff in. Snuff is a kind of tobacco that you can sniff up your nose. That might sound strange, but some people really like it! The snuff box is usually made out of nice materials like gold, silver, or ivory, and might have decorations on it like engravings or jewels. It has a little hinge so that you can open and close it easily, and often has a little spoon inside to help you scoop up the snuff. People who use snuff might carry their snuff box around with them so that they can use it whenever they want.
