2 Painted Toleware (Tin) Match Safes

Price: 75

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

2 painted tin (Toleware) match safes that were meant to hang next to a fireplace. The one is blue, the other green, but their form and size are identical. They are 4 ½” wide, about 2” deep and 2 ½” high at the scalloped crest. Both are in good, used condition: heavy paint ware from use on both, but no splits or dents. The lid on the green one is slightly dented but sill closes. Both have striker patches on the bottom.
