I found this today in a charity shop...
A horse hoof snuff box I think.
Looks like a silver top but I can't see any hallmarks
The inscription on the top reads

From R Bonnick
To The Right Hon. Lord Suffield
As a small token in memory of the favourite grey horse St Lawrence

Any info,opinions on this item would be appreciated.
I bought it as I like anything slightly odd or unusual

Let it Here be Known, that I award this a "LUV" because of the top & it's engraving. The farrier was a bit off angle trimming & did a lousy shoe fitting. "And that's all I have to say about that". LOL !
