Antique slim pocket match safe with a hand engraved rearing horse on the front. Press the button and the lid springs open. The ridged base was the striker, made for the strike-anywhere matches of the era. Modern safety matches won't light on it.
Made to keep matches dry in a pocket, it now works nicely for coins, pills, toothpicks, a folded bill or a spare key.
Approx 3" x 1.5"
