In doing some research, I cannot find another match holder / striker like this one.... Antique porcelain figural match holder with striker, which measures approximately 2 1/4" square at base, with "Watchman" figure measuring 7 3/4" tall, which you lift off to reveal the match compartment beneath, with ribbed striker on the back of the base. The only marks on this piece are the numbers "11" and "3744" which are both on the inside of the figure and again on the match holder and underside of the base, and I believe that this piece is most likely from Germany. There is a small chip to the brim of his hat in the front as shown which I believe an expert can repair, and a very, very faint hairline in the top layer of glaze on one of the back folds of his coat as I've tried to show you, and some wear to the gold painted accents on his coat. Other than these small condition issues, in very good condition with no other chips or cracks. A wonderful and RARE addition to your collection! (1025)
