See photos for patina, coloration, etc. I can describe to the best of my ability, but I am not a professional,so please also use your judgement.1. Silver-tone match safe with bronze tone on the ends. Features a rope pattern border near those ends. Top flips open to reveal another metal piece with a paper reading "To Open Drink 'Labor's Choice" Whiskey." Button on side opens the second metal piece and reveals 8 matches still inside. Overall condition excellent for its age with some bronzing worn off. Dimensions are 2.5" by 1.5" by 3/8".
2. Silver tone match safe that features a gold-tone Fluer de Lis. This one is sized and shaped similar to a modern-day lighter. It appears to have retained its colors well with little staining or discoloration. Dimensions are 2.75", 1" by .5".
3.Silver-tone match safe featuring a mother-of-pearl styled coating on the wide edges. Striker edge on bottom while the top features a lovely floral pattern. Appears to be on overall very good shape with little discoloration to the finish. Dimensions are 2.75" by 1.5" by .5".
