Pinto noted the existence of "4 or 5" examples dated between 1765 and 1773, all of which were also carved with Salsbee`s name and age, with some evident contradictions as to his exact age. By the third quarter of the 18th century there was a revival of interest in the works of Shakespeare and thriving demand for souvenirs and memorabilia. See Pinto (E H), Wooden Bygones of Smoking and Snuff Taking, 1961, pp35-36.
