Brock is once again correct....

Here is a more typical example of the same Matchstick Holder that Corey Leiby had a while back... it now resides in his on-line "Museum".

These are normally found with this blackish-grey "gunmetal" type finish or patina. It is rather unusual to find anything from this series painted, as was the case with the one Carlton posted.

I forget what Corey (Antique Athlete) was asking for his when it was for sale, but this current seller's price is rather ambitious. I believe that this painted example is closer to a $500 - $600 piece. But they do not turn up very often, so he may eventually get his price.
