Antique green and yellow tartanware Victorian match box

Description

Antique green and yellow tartanware Victorian match box. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class. This unusual, petite piece of tartan ware is 2 1/2” X 1 5/8” X 1/2”. I don’t know the name of this bright green and yellow plaid, but it makes for an adorable match box. The match box has sand paper on the bottom to strike matches with and has 6 compartments for 2 1/4” wooden matches. The veneered box has a chip on one side, at the bottom of the top half. There is another chip on the side and signs of green paint used to touch up the box. The sand paper on the bottom shows use. This box is circa 1880 and is in overall good shape but has been used!
