Message:: [QUOTE="Crystal McKenna, post: 2217798, member: 15063"]Hello. My husband has had this piece for along time now and we just recently brought it out of storage. He isn't quite sure what it is either. We are thinking possibly a matchbox holder but would love some advice. There is a stamp on the "matchbox" part. It has a"Coronet trademark, which is a stamp of a crown inside a laurel wreath. Above the crown is written "Trademark" and below the Crown "Coronet." This trademark was registered to Geo. Borgfeldt & Co., a major U.S. importer located in New York City". As shown in the photos there is a thin wire that goes inside. I'm not sure if his head was supposed to bobble or not but due to the age of the piece it has worn a hole near the leg on the stomach and the wire pops out of the hole so the head doesn't stay attached.[ATTACH=full]254854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254858[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254860[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254862[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254863[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254864[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
