The second snuffbox features, on the lid, a baking shovel and a dough scraper crossed over each other, and on the other side, the initials “FR” within a compass rose. The edge is trimmed with a brass band. The last snuffbox bears the date “1816” on the lid, beneath a vase from which flowers emerge.
