    Carved walnut snuff box from 1891
    Richly decorated all over
    On top with the former owner's name and klosdorf the village where he lived
    On the back of the box "how a man becomes millionaire"

    Even everything is written in German language this piece comes from transylvania.
    Klosdorf is a village there
    In the middle ages many germans are emigrated to that area.
    The so called Siebenbürger Saxons are still talking German nowadays

      Very nice! What are the dimensions?

      Beautiful! So well carved. One mistake and it would be ruined.
      I read the inscription "With a cheerful mind, take a pinch" (of snuff )
