[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 4505759, member: 111"]There's no real need for the paper cover because there's a metal cover. Not sure what you mean about the spent matches - maybe the 'window' in the plate that holds the matchbook in place? If so, it allows use of the striker on the matchbook. No, the chain wouldn't be original, if a bale is present as on this one, it would be suspended from a watch chain, chatelaine, etc. ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
