Tobacco has had its day and so has snuff so how may this box remain useful in the 21st century. Jimmy Hendrix and Keith Richards would jump to the same conclusion. Our ladies believe this would be very useful for tidying up contents of handbags or a pill box or jewellery intended for the evening. I would use it to store cufflinks, they always find their way to the bottow of the bedside drawer.
