    Probably worth a little more than the $5.00 I paid for it. It is stamped C. Parker Pat. Jan 24, 1860 snuff.jpg

    Wow, this is a great find! Is it a snuff box?

    Can you show the back?

    Is he sitting on the guys he's going to bury (going, oh well, guess I must get on with it), or is he resting already after a rather sloppy job (cause, "if that's your best, your best won't do")? Joking aside, I think it probably represents a very specific episode. Odd anyway, but good find.
