C1830 Treen Lignum Vitae Early Go To Bed Match Protector & Striker. Very early go to bed match striker protector circa 1830. Beautiful lignum vitae wood. No external striker, instead two discs (below the bone finial) lined with glass paper. The upper disc lifts so that a match can be inserted and moved to create the friction to light. Overall in good antique condition, screw thread good, some losses to the decorative petal detail, otherwise expect marks, general signs of wear and use commensurate with age and nature of item. Measures approx 97 mm tall. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to message. I will be listing many items over the coming weeks so please do follow and check my other listings.
