This is a c. 1890's german silver Match Safe with a great fly fishing scene. Two gentlemen in ribbed boat one with rod in hand and fish on, and the other with landing net in hand. This wonderful match safe has a excellent spring loaded top that gives access to the wooden matches. The bottom is ridged as a striker. Wooden matches were carried in the vest or jacket in these safes before the match book was invented and patented in 1910. It is marked German Silver on the inside edge of the safe. A nice example of the Victorian era. A tiny dimple on back side but nothing significant. Please click on its image for additional closeups!
