This item is considered used because it comes from an Estate Sale. I do not know where it originates from or how old it is. These box matches have a leather top and bottom. There is a nice design carved into the cover. The match sticks are made of wood. The striker panels on either side are in good condition and appear not to have been used! It measures about 2 & 1/4" X 1.5" and it is colored a dark brown. Only one of this item is available so don't miss out! LOOK!
