How cool is this little pendant? I wasn’t sure what it was used for when I first saw it, but once I saw the bottom, it clicked, it’s a matchstick holder! Crafted from sterling silver this treasure was carved by hand from sterling silver and has a hinged opening.
The bottom has a serrated texture, perfect for lighting the matches it's holding.
From the hallmarks on the silver, I am gathering it was made in Chester, England and the letter appears to be from 1907 (see picture). Perfect to be worn on a chain as a standout pendant, or perhaps given to a groom/groomsmen as a unique gift for a wedding.
