Large Matchbox Holder * Denmark

A vintage silver plated matchbox case from Denmark with a fun embossed tavern scene gracing the front, and hammered silver-tone on back. A bit different than most match box holders, generally both ends are open. This silver box has a lid on one end with a locking clasp & fits tight. The piano hinge works perfect. Both sides have large perforated slots for access to the striker's.

The detail is just wonderful, down to the brick & mortar walls. Several men sitting at a low table, one holding a fiddle, another eating from a bowl, the third looks like he is grabbing a little something, for his arm is wrapped around a lady? There's a fish lying on the table in the background to be the next meal, and in the foreground a child sits on a chair while the cat / dog sits patiently near the table for scraps.

As mentioned, this item is from Denmark, a hallmark beneath reading "Prima H Gr". This piece is silver plated for I polished it for the photo's, it was pretty black.

The measures 3-1/2" x 2-1/2".

Condition: Pristine! The front is perfect! On back there is wear on silver to brass beneath but only in one small area. There is a fleabite ding on back at about 7:00.
