Fabulous 1905 Signed Hanging Match Holder with Striking Paper turned handle is very wornYum. Gorgeous old white painted surface on this wonderful hanging match holder, with "Matches" subtly carved into the surface of the match pocket, and a piece of black striking paper still in the frame (which has a slit at top should one want to remove it and replace it with something else.) l especially love the hatch carved detail of the frame, and the two arches at top, suggesting a heart. And then on the back, the initials of its maker, LLS, 6 19
