    CIRCA 1700'S ANTIQUE SNUFF AND MATCH HOLDER .THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A CENTERPIECE FOR A TABLE FOR A WEALTHY FAMILY BACK IN THE 18TH CENTURY. STANDS 8 1/2 INCHES TALL AND 7" WIDE. 3 FEET ARE 3 CARVED WINGED GRIFFINS. THE TOP OPEN UP INTO 2 SECTIONS ONE SIDE FOR MATCHES OTHER SIDE FOR SNUFF. SOLID BRASS AND HAVE NOT CLEANED THE PIECE IT RETAINS ALL THE YEARS OF PATINA. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND CAN NOT FIND A SIMILAR ONE. I COULD NOT FIND ANY HALLMARKS BUT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING IF ONE WISHES TO POLISH IT. I HAVE LEFT IT AS FOUND. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
