<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 220602, member: 111&quot;]Hi Bear - this a small item, designed in the early 1870s, if it were for a matchbox, it would hold a typical Swedish or Lucifer matchbox of the era (usually right around 2-1/2&quot; X 1-1/2&quot;, though there were other sizes), which like most small matchboxes today, slid open from the small end of the sleeve.&nbsp; It&#039;s an odd piece, but I just can&#039;t see it as practical, or even really quite the right size, for a matchbox holder - not sure I can recall seeing such an object made in the 1870s-80s...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
