Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4346428 | Material: Brass |
| Type: Vestas |
Welcome to my auctions, and please remember to check out my ebay store / shop.
YOU ARE ON THE PAGE - SO MAKE AN OFFER!I am pleased to be selling part of a large varied collection to be listed over the next few months of high quality vesta matchsafes and table stand-a-lones examples.This auction is for an original c. 1900 / 1910 Japanese vesta matchsafe in a continental style, as it has a push button side opening.
Heavy gauge brass with the striker on the bottom a...s in the third picture above.
So, to open you push in the small button on the side and this flips open the vesta case, and to close you simply just push the lid back down into the closed position, this works perfectly well.
The whole of the top of the lid (front and back) has an opened butterfly and below a butterfly landing surrounded by flowers, absolutely beautiful. (Again, same to the front and back).
In very good overall condition, measures approx. 5.5 cms x 3 cms with rounded corners.
An extremely tactile vesta case, and would certainly display well and compliment any collection, especially with other Japanese examples.
The last picture above just shows you the other Japanese examples I am listing for reference, all being sold separately, so please keep an eye open!
In 'used' and left in un-cleaned condition, please take a look at the pictures above and ask any more questions you may have, also take a look at my other vesta matchsafe listings, thank you. All of the above is my opinion. I am happy to combine postage where possible.
Please note that the match in the photo above is not included and cannot be posted out as part of the auction, thank you.
If you buy more than one auction and would like a combined invoice, please request this before paying and I will invoice you for a combined invoice lot which will always save you money. UK postage is £7.50, special next day delivery. Packed very well to ensure safe delivery.
There is possibly cheaper post on ebay, but not next day signed for, and unfortunately items can go missing if there is not a signature required, thank you for your understanding.
For overseas transactions ‘International Track & Signed For’ or 'International Tracked' delivery will be used, depending on the destination country.
Paypal preferred for payment, but if you wish to pay by cheque please email before bidding. I would need to wait for cheque to clear before posting out. If you have a query regarding forms of payment, please contact me.
Any questions you may have, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I will do my best to answer as best I can, and if you require additional photographs please ask.
