I believe this is an American snuff/patch box as it is only marked with initials and one pictorial device. The initials are B and then a staff of some kind followed by the letters..Fes. The pictorial is a profile of a man's head.
Thanks for any light you can shed.

Hello.
Just offering a possibility here.
There was a French jewelry manufacturer called Bapst et Falize (Lucien Falize) who used a BF mark.
Not sure if this mark is one of theirs though.
Pat.
Lucien Falize
