A great antique cast iron match safe.  This is a double pocket design with basket style holders.  Has a center striker and an 1867 patent date on the back.  Looks to be in overall very good lightly used (if at all) condition.  Slight error in the casting on the middle leaf on the right basket.  Measures about 7-1/2 by 5 inches across the back.
