very cool... i posted something similar few days ago not knowing for sure what it was but i think its def a snuff coantainer mine too i think is sterling...the spoon is missing on mine and someone replaced it with some wire that forms a loop at the end. check out my pics of it and have a look. Gary
ok thanks Gary

Looks like, with the top loop, something that hung on a necklace for easy use back when "snuff" was acceptable. It looks like Sterling with a lot of patina and has the original spoon...very cool! A nice piece of antique history!
