$199.99

I will be listing a variety of nice estate-fresh Antique and Vintage Items this week. Here is a Nice ANTIQUE ULYSSES S. GRANT FIGURAL BUST SILVERED BRASS MATCH SAFE. It is 2-9/16\" tall. Grant is wearing a military jacket which has an insignia with four stars. The brass button by his bow tie springs open the compartment for storing matches and is in good working condition. The striker is on the bottom of this cover. This matchsafe retains most of it\'s original silvered patina with a few spots of brass showing through. There is a dent spot on the edge at the back of his head. Looks like another milder pushed in spot on his left side collar. Otherwise good.
These Grant match safes don\'t show up very often for sale. I found an example that sold at Hake\'s sale in 2012 for over $300 (that one undented but with much heavier wear to silvering). Found fresh out of a nice old Rhode Island estate this past weekend. INSURANCE INCLUDED in the shipping total.Massachusetts buyers pay the 6.25% sales tax. Look for my other nice Old Items I will be listing as well. See listing for payment and shipping details. Feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
