Posted By: Steve Gridley Mon, Jul 22, 2024 Historically, small silver boxes were made of silver and hallmarked. They would have been for opium or snuff if for a Chinese person. If for export, typically snuff. Your box is modern and could be used for a variety of items such as daily meds or modern snuff, etc.
