Wow. How interesting. Thanks very much for all the information. I'm going to pass all this on to my father and his family. I shall get them to take some photos of the hinge area too. Great help. Thanks to all.

Antique Questions Forum / Snuff Box that possibly dates back to battle of Culloden

« on: January 21, 2010, 12:20:03 pm »

Whilst researching into my Cameron ancestry we have come across a heirloom kept by a distant relative. It is a snuff box that his family have always thought belonged to a family member who was present at the battle of Culloden.

It is engraved with the initials DC. Our own research suggests that an ancestor of ours called Donald Cameron (aged 16) was present at the battle. It is a horn snuffbox with silver and wood engravings.

Photos below. Confirmation of age or any other interesting information would be useful.
