Sweet Little Antique Carved Match Holder head form but not chippingI found this one at Brimfield in July just too sweet and earnestly, carefully made to walk away from. And great old patina to the dry wood surface. Late 19th early 20th c. I believe; a happy little wall pocket for matches or small treasures or notes to self. 5" x 2 5 8" x 1 3 8" d. Good antique condition, sturdy and sound, nice warm patina to the dry pine surface.
