Snuff Box Commemorating Olive Hazard Perrys Victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Erie.A round 88 mm wooden snuff box, the lid and base combined measuring 20.5 mm in height. On the top of the lid is a depiction of the capture of the British fleet on Lake Erie with the inscription below: COM. PERRY CAPTURING THE WHOLE OF THE BRITISH FLEET ON LAKE ERIE, SEPT. 10, 1813. On the bottom of the box is a reproduction of the letter that Perry sent to Secretary of the Navy William Jones: U.S. BRIG NIAGARA, ON LAKE ERIE, SEPT. 10, 1813, 4 P.M. / SIR / IT HAS PLEASED THE ALMIGHTY TO GIVE TO THE ARMS / OF THE UNITED STATES A SIGNAL VICTORY OVER THEIR ENEMIES ON / THIS LAKE. THE BRITISH SQUADRON CONSISTING OF TWO SHIPS, / TWO BRIGS, ONE SCHOONER AND ONE SLOOP, HAVE THIS MOMENT SURREN- / DERED TO THE FORCE UNDER MY COMMAND, AFTER A SHARP CONFLICT. / I HAVE THE HONOR TO BE / SIR, VERY RESPECTFULLY, / YOUR OBEDIENT SERVANT / O.H. PERRY. / THE HON. WILLIAM JONES SECRETARY / OF THE NAVY. An eagle and stars similar to those seen on the Great Seal of the United States are at the top of the letter. The lid is cracked at 12 oclock with a small piece of the edge missing, edge of the picture with portions missing in areas, but with the naval engagement and the inscription clear. The inside of the lid exhibits the initials WMS. The base of the lid is better preserved, although there are some cracks and chips around the edge of the letter reproduction. A presentable piece overall, and presumably very rare.<p>Olive Hazard Perrys victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Erie was one of the most significant for the American cause in the War of 1812. His force of nine ships defeated and captured a smaller British fleet of six vessels under the command of Robert Heriot Barclay, thus ensuring American control over the lake for the remainder of the War.
