Antique Vintage Metal & Walnut, Match Machine, Old Timer, One Cent, all Original: $415.00
What\'s neat about this old Match machine is it\'s a survivor, it has not been restored, and is all original. The glass looks like it might have been replaced at some time but, it too may be old. This machine has a working key. The machine also works. The only makers mark is on the inside apparatus and it states, \"Patent applied for\". I believe the wood case is walnut, although it may be oak. It is handsome and has a warm patina. Years ago I tried getting matches for this old girl and I was able to find some, but was never able to fill her the way I would have liked. She is heavy 12.4 pounds. I\'m no authority but I would guess she\'s from the teens to the twenties of the last century. She is 14\" tall 5 1/4\" from front to back, and 9\" wide. I\'ve owned this machine for almost 50 years and I\'ve never seen one exactly like her, close, but never the same. The wood box itself has dove tailed corners which are handsome and speak of her age. On her top there is a 1/2 inch hole in the wood. It canbe seen in the photos. I was told by an old boy that a dowel holding a sign or advertisement probably went there.Because of the weightI\'m going to guess shipping will be around 30 dollars, I always pack well, ifit costs less to ship I\'ll remit the difference. Please no overseas sales. Thanks for looking
