Sterling Matchbook Holder

[Boobydoo]

This item that I found doesn't have a high dollar value but I think it is very interesting. Michigan Badger also found one of these recently and asked me to post pics of my sterling one, so I started this thread for that purpose.

It's a Matchbook Holder made of sterling silver. It has the initial "V" on the front. I found this at a horse riding stable and believe it's from the 1940's. It's in pretty good shape and still fully functionable. This is something you might not see every day, so I thought I would share it with you here.

Best of luck to you all in your searches!

This really is a great find! One thing that makes it extra special is the fact it's not flat or all bent up.

You have a real treasure there for life.

mlw67... I am glad this post has some significance to you.
It's not valuable... but it is intersting.
A piece of the past. You wouldn't see anyone using this now.

I collect matchbook holders, and I have a similar item to this with a slightly different manufacturer's imprint - same mfr, but mine has a different number and doesn't say pat applied for. The main difference is that the four brads/or lugs (I don't know what to call them) hold a celluloid golf score card. I assume you could pencil in your score and erase it somehow so that it is reusable. I found it at Brimfield a few years back. Andy
