Victorian Cast Iron Match Holder

What a fun cast iron match holder! This figural cast iron match holder has been cast in the three-dimensional shape of a woman’s Victorian high-top button up shoe. The base of the match holder serves as a striker. This item is known to hold matches in the kitchen or on the mantelpiece. Guaranteed old, the paint has maybe been touched up over the years. Circa early 1900’s. The base measures 3.25″ x4 1/2″, and the height of the shoe is 5″ high.
