This unusual matchbox holder on stand is engraved on the matchbox holder with a crown and RM & SP, which stands for Royal Mail & Pacific Steam Navigation Co. It is silver-plated and marked for Elkington plate just below the top, together with the date letter N, which we believe denotes the piece to have been made in 1925. The base was possibly intended to be used as an ashtray, or as a tray to hold the used matches. The piece is weighted.

Condition: Overall in good condition with some wear consistent with age and use. The piece has some surface knocking, scratching and wear. It is tarnished. The silver-plated finish is worn away in the centre of the well of the base.

The approx. measurements are as follows:
9.5cm high 16.5cm by 9.5cm (base). Further images are available. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. Viewing is welcome, but please contact us before travelling as we are only open by appointment.

We can arrange delivery of both smaller items and furniture - please contact us for details and a quote. Customers are also welcome to use their own couriers if preferred.

Payment can be made by PayPal, bank transfer, cheque [UK only], and cash on collection.
