Vintage French wheel cigar match holder gambling device. This gaming device was originally fashioned in pubs for customers to bet on who buys the next pint of beer. It has very ornate motifs and nautical-like features, including the ship’s wheel frame inlayed in a Victorian scalloped shell cameo design. The barrel opening below the wheel holds matches while the striker plate on the base of the pedestal allowed customers to light up their cigars directly at the bar. https://grs.link/2TkTqHI

We are back in the warehouse again today, cleaning and fixing items, pricing for the shops. The first thing I grabbed was this matches box. It is obviously handmade but, by whom, I have no idea. It could be #AmericanIndian. I do know it is vintage simply because it came from the home of a 95 year old lady who died a few years ago. She was a collector with a good eye. #vintage #matchcontainer #matchholder #handmade #artwork #art (at Bluff City, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mbZRvn6kp/?igshid=bbsh2nx6qqv2

Gunner's Linstock (Matchholder) combined with Spear, 1600, Art Institute of Chicago: Arms, Armor, Medieval, and Renaissance
Pole arms (staff weapons) were used not only in warfare and hunting, but also in sporting combat and ceremonies. The term refers to a family of edged weapons attached to wooden staffs. With the exception of the lance, which remained the weapon of the mounted knight, all other staff weapons were wielded by men on foot by 1600. With the development of firearms and their introduction as infantry weapons, pole arms lost their importance on the field, and from the mid-16th century, they were reserved for use in sporting contests and by princely bodyguards for ceremony and parade. The blades lent themselves to embellishment—engraving, etching, or other forms of decoration—and provided a perfect surface for the coats of arms of noble or princely families. The ceremonial use of staff weapons continues to this day with the Swiss Guards at the Vatican and Britain’s Yeomen of the Royal Guard. George F. Harding Collection
Size: L. 203.2 cm (80 in.) Blade with socket L. 36.2 cm (14 1/4 in.) Wt. 4 lb. 4 oz.
Medium: Steel, wood (oak), bronze, and iron

A match holder from Austria for the mantle or fireplace. It features blue cabbage roses, embossed filigree, and gold highlights. It has a very unusual tilted design that rests on an ornate gold foot and has a handle on top. I believe it to be a matchstick holder for the mantle but could be used as a toothpick holder.

A customer repaired this vintage sterling match box with one of our rectangle match strikers: "It was empty, and the strikers on each side were well worn when I bought it. I cut one of your small strikers in half and very gently slid the pieces between the silver and the old match box. They work perfectly, so now not only is the matchbox pretty, but it’s functional too!" #antiques #vintage #matchboxes #matchholders #safetymatches #strikeamatch
