 A Victorian Match box.

For Smokers a 100 years ago this small metal box would have contained matches to light Cigars, Pipes or fires.

As can be seen, it has seen better days and was due a makeover.





The Passe Partout covering had become unstuck and we were lucky that none of it had become lost.

Now restored with a bit of new gold lining, it is more representative of what it should look like.
