I'm new to this platform but have a snuff box belonging to Peter Walker of "Tipithill" ...I'm not looking to sell it but I think you'd find photos thrilling. Are we allowed to post photos here? It shows a man and two horses ploughing on front side, a nice healthy steer on the other...little oak box with removable lid, super pretty. I "inherited" from a friend in McLean, VA, who gave me  box of strange things belonging to her home's former resident...it was an abandoned box of little antique things and this snuff box was in that. I've kept it for years but tonight came online to just Google Peter Walker "Tipithill." Inside the box is this handwritten note: Great great grand father Peter Walker. Mother was Agnes Andrews who was daughter of elizabeth Patton who was daughter of Robert Burns." I checked that and the great poet Robert Burns DID have a daughter out of wedlock named Elizabeth Paton (not two ts)...so that's pretty cool!
