Little Brass Shoe Match Holder/Striker with Nice Detail Benjamin Harnett painting quintessentially Tlingit geometric patterns remainingJust a fun little thing, which I really like for the form of the shoe, and for match striker inlaid on the bottom, and for how shiny it is, reminding me a bit of the Monopoly shoe, too, which was always what I wanted to be! Brass, definitely with some age to it, I'd guess early 20th c. 1 7 8 x 1 x 9 16 and in very good condition, with plenty of strike left on the striker.
