<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 936374, member: 5833"]I see a rabbit with his ears pushed down by the hat. There are only 7 holes. Seems like you would need to restock it frequently if they were for matches. Also, don't combined match holder - ash tray pieces usually have a striker area, a rough place to get the match going? Is there such an area on this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I feel it is ill suited to serve a smoker, my only other thought is that it is meant for dressing table or dresser top, as a catchall for the little bits. In that case, the holes would have to be for hat pins, hair pins, stock pins. It's a gentleman bunny, so perhaps stick/stock pins would live there, with only 1 gone at a time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
