trefid2 Posts: 73 Registered: Jul 2015	posted 08-27-2016 09:04 PM [26-2589] This thread was originally posted 03.07.2011 by Postnikov (Silver can talk). At this point I can only post in the New Members forum. I assume this is the way to add to other discussions. My apologies if there is a different way that I'm not aware of. I think this is a great thread and I enjoyed looking at the previous contributions. Perhaps I can jump start the dialogue again with a new addition. I bought this snuff box (London 1813, Linnit & Atkinson)a few years ago while on holidays in Antwerp, Belgium. I love the inscription. It was absolutely filthy when I bought it and it yielded a wonderful surprise when it was thoroughly cleaned. I have no clue who would have been the owner of this box. Little did they know that the "tyrant" would return. THIS BOX Commemorates the important Era of the downfall of the TYRANT the enemy of Mankind by the restoration on the throne of France of its legitimate Sovereign KING LOUIS XVIII 3rd April 1814 IP: Logged

Vetdaddy Posts: 70 Registered: Feb 2016	posted 08-28-2016 11:53 AM Great find!! That is an old box, date looks like 1793. Very nice well preserved inscription. Thanks for sharing. IP: Logged
agphile Posts: 798 Registered: Apr 2008	posted 08-28-2016 12:36 PM It is difficult to distinguish between the date letters for 1793 and 1813 but the date letter here is the S for 1813/14 so the box was new when engraved. 1793 is too early for these makers, IP: Logged
trefid2 Posts: 73 Registered: Jul 2015	posted 08-28-2016 01:25 PM Perhaps they would have waited a bit longer after Waterloo to commission another inscription for fear of a three-peat? A quick bit of research shows that on April 2, 1814, the French Senate passed a resolution deposing Napoleon and on April 11,1814, the Treaty of Fontainebleu was agreed upon which ended Napoleon's rule as emperor and sent him into exile on Elba. Interesting stuff. IP: Logged

Vetdaddy Posts: 70 Registered: Feb 2016	posted 08-28-2016 04:31 PM Agphile- thanks for the correction on the date mark. This maker was later....more research before I post next time! IP: Logged
