Any ideas as to what battle is depicted on the bottom, and any ideas as to its value.
Any help you all can provide would be greatly appreciated.

It is a generic scene. The designs are stamped, not engraved.

Found another with the same depiction. Scroll down to Civil War items and look for the item "Parker's patent engraved snuff box".

LOL. "The Horse Soldier" also has another very similar item listed as a snuff box. Maybe they served more than one purpose in the day?
