Sterling Silver 1908 Match Case Vesta Case

Sterling Silver 1908 Match Case/ Vesta case. Monogrammed with "RGC"

A beautiful little match case. It has ring / bale on side to attach to keyring or a chain and the striking plate on the bottom.

These cases take their name from the virgin Roman goddess of fire, home, hearth and family. Usually Vesta was depicted as the fire in her temple. Only Vestals (her priestesses) were allowed into her temple. Her association with fire made her name the natural choice for British companies who manufactured matches.

Measures: 1 7/8" long x 1 1/2" wide x 1/4" deep. In very good condition - could use a polish. Hinge works very well. Please see pictures as they are part of the description.
