Dear Charll & Pat,
 
     Thank you both for more accurate information on the "CHINA" and "Made in China" marks etc. I did not realise it went back to 1890; I was told by a veteran collector in Toronto in 1970 (the late Natie Katz of blessed memory), that it was put on everything imported from China into the USA from 1905. I didn't check further. Good to know (and I remember studying the McKinley Tariff Act of 1890, while in High School in Israel in 1974/1975! But I didn't then connect it to snuff bottles...  Roll Eyes Wink).

   Best,
Joey
