Nichol or perhaps Nicholson. Somewhat unfortunately, this coat of arms, az two bars erm, works for many branches of that family, leaving the identity of the individual who originally owned this box perhaps impossible to identify with any certainty.
It remains, however, a fine snuff box, heavy gauge brass with a comb hinge, shaped for a waistcoat pocket.
Engraved beneath the arms with the initials 'A.N' in Gothic, the shield surmounted by a marquis' crown and demi lion.
English circa 1840.
