ARTIFACT:
This is a circa 1910s match safe by Marble's of Gladstone, Michigan. The safe is cylindrical with a waterproof design and textured striking surfaces on both sides. To open, twist the body of the safe clockwise, like a lipstick case, keeping the end with the patent info up. When enough space has opened up, the lid will swivel to the side and down. This great product is still being made today: why not have the original? Matches included.
