Rare Vintage/Antique Match Safe / Christian Triad Symbol/ Civil War?:
$38.50

Hi! Up for sale is a small vintage/antique brass match safe with striker. The piece is in worn condition with dents and spots of tarnish and a small split around top. There is an emblem on top. I believe it is called the Christian Triad. It has a cross ,an anchor and a heart together representing hope, love and faith. This was a symbol used in jewelry during the Edwardian period which was between 1860 and 1920. It is thought that this may be related to the Civil War and perhaps the Navy. I can not verify that because I can not find anything like this online. So if you would know anything about the origin of this piece, please let me know.The size and condition issues can best be discerned by the photos but ask any questions you may have. Thanks for looking!
