<p>[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 376434, member: 136"]Thanks, Jolly, but no, that's not it. These were a "real thing" - they were supposed to look like pots of flowers. The sterling "pot" has no base. It's open at the bottom so that the striker on the insert is exposed.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]129767[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Extra inserts - with matches attached - were available for purchase at specific places, like the jewelry store where my Mom bought them.
