Tag - 25 Match Safe Match Holder Waterbury Mfg. Co FREE SHIPPING

Description

It is my goal to accurately represent the item you are bidding on. The photos should include every surface and a variety of angles. Specific notable flaws will be shown in specific photos. I try to accurately describe flaws so there are no surprises when you open the box at home. Please look carefully at the photos and contact me with questions BEFORE bidding. Please note that the highly reflective curved surfaces make photography a challenge for this amateur.
PLEASE READ ALL THE BORING STUFF BELOW BEFORE YOU BID.
My mother was a collector. Of many things, including tobacco related items. Which is truly odd since she never smoked.
I’ve done as much research as I can using collector books on the subject and web searches. Where the info is speculative it is noted as such. If you see an error PLEASE notify me so I can research it and correct it.
Special Note: There seems to be a broad range of opinion on what defines “Art Nouveau” versus “Art Deco”. Don’t blame me for passing along the opinions of the “experts”.
Please do NOT make offers or ask me to end the auction early.
Notes: Crane or Stork eating baby. Mechanically perfect, surface 99% blemish free. Slight surface scratching typical from use.
