1739 Admiral Vernon Medal Used as Snuff Box Lid. Adams-Chao UNI-16 (this object), made from Adams Chao FCv 6-G. Brass, 50.4 mm x 26.6 mm. Hinged top, tapered edge. Probably unique, this object is illustrated on p. 194 of the Adams-Chao book. The snuff box itself seems a bit more modern than the medal, but is still likely 18th century. The hinge is functional but missing a pin on one side. A fascinating 3-D Vernon object that underscores his deep affection with an Anglophone populace on both sides of the Atlantic. <strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
