Erotic automated hidden scene match safe circa 1900.
Engine turned silvered brass match safe with button to open the spring-hinged door
for access to the matches, the striker on the other end. An interior hidden catch
releases the concealed cover to reveal an automated scene of a young woman and
her lively mustachioed lover enjoying each other in her boudoir while the dog looks on.
We have had a small number of these very desirable boxes over the years and this one
is the most attractive one we have offered and the only one with the distinctive
diagonal engine turning.
