Picked this up at the weekend for next to nothing.
Can anyone tell me what it is and also where it comes from? The decoration style is familiar but I can not place it. Made of brass. Stu |

Hi Stu.
Hmmmm.....I think tobacco might be a good guess. Rick |

Perhaps it was for a mixture of both: must have been a dynamite fag:-)

I dont know wht it is, but I have found the attached picture, which is from a sales catalogue from 1974 from Elliott and Snowdon.
'Part striped wood, part iron and decorated with gold scrolls. Early 19th century.' |

Thank you. The pic you show appears to be a powder bandolier. Similar sort of thing to this one. What I have is not from a bandolier and I suspect it is more likely for tobacco/snuff but hoped that someone here could identify the decoration style, and perhaps give a concise identification as to use.
