Here's a beautiful and rare old transluscent blond tortoise shell snuff you're sure to want. The condition is not perfect, but the appeal certainly is close to it. Beautifully semi-transparent in fine old tortoise, it's got a cartouche of what is very likely gold, with enamel. The price makes the slight imperfection of that gold banding more appealing, still Great piece to add to your collection!

Good to very good, the shell, itself, is in fine shape and it's just the band of gold that shows some bends, raises as you see. RARE transparent shell - RARE blonde tortie!
