    Description

    Lot of 5 Antique Match Safes/Vestas, 4 Metal & 1 Leather. All are used and numbered above to correspond with descriptions below.  See photos for patina, coloration, etc.  I can describe to the best of my ability, but I am not a professional,so please also use your judgement.
    1. Silver-tone match safe with bronze tone on the ends.  Features a rope pattern border near those ends.  Top flips open to reveal another metal piece with a paper reading "To Open Drink 'Labor's Choice" Whiskey."  Button on side opens the second metal piece and reveals 8 matches still inside.  Overall condition excellent for its age with some bronzing worn off. Dimensions are 2.5" by 1.5" by 3/8".
    2. Silver tone match safe that features a gold-tone Fluer de Lis.  This one is sized and shaped similar to a modern-day lighter. It appears to have retained its colors well with little staining or discoloration. Dimensions are 2.75", 1" by .5".
    3.Silver-tone match safe featuring a mother-of-pearl styled coating on the wide edges. Striker edge on bottom while the top features a lovely floral pattern. Appears to be on overall very good shape with little discoloration to the finish. Dimensions are 2.75" by 1.5" by .5".
    4. Very rusty silver-toned match safe that had an applique featuring a women's profile.  Applique is no longer attached, but could be fixed.  Over all patina is very much used, but may clear-up well. Dimensions are 2.75" by 1.5" by .5".
    5. Brown leather match safe in two pieces, one that nests into the other. Metal striker on the nesting segment.  Leather is not cracked. Dimensions are 1.75" wide at widest point, 3' long, and approx. .5 deep.
