The base is 3-1/4" x 3-1/2" and it's 3-1/2" tall. This is a very old cast iron match holder. Stamped on the bottom is what we believe to be a design patent, it reads "PAT.D. DEC 1271" which was issued in 1860. The strikers run up and down along the sides by the handles. The design on this is very detailed and beautiful. It's in excellent condition, no cracks, etc.
