Lovely cranberry glass Victorian match striker with a silver top.
Lovely medium color throughout. It is topped with a wide band
of silver which is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham 1904. It is
in great condition with only few nibbles to the glass showing
where the matches were struck near the bottom. There is a
slight dent or two in the soft silver - to be expected for a piece
of this age. The well in the center is where the matches were
kept and then they would have been struck on the sides where
the thin bands of raised threaded glass would provide the
necessary friction to set the match aflame. The colored glass
features are highly desirable by collectors and the size and
weight of this one makes it especially sought after. The third
photo show it with a matching cranberry striker - with the same
hallmark (it is the one on the right). The final photos shows it in
the center of a line up with the other cranberry strikers listed on
our site 8/ 9/04
