Small, gold-leaf-on-silver snuffbox from the 1715 Fleet. 72 grams, 2-3/4" x 2" x 3/4". Once ornate and functional with gold leaf all over, this small box retains some of its original charm through years of underwater exposure, encrustation all over, intact except for one side (the bottom) with some remnants extant. From the 1715 Fleet (beach find), with letter of provenance from the family of the finder.
Estimate: $600-900
