    Description

    DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION
    Up for sale is a Go-to-Bed match safe with a striker, or vesta. It measures about 3” tall. I think it is made of brass and depicts a soldier or a guard. He has an ornate belt with a knife, a pistol and a sword.  I think he is wearing a night cap ?  Go-To-Bed’s were  were a variety of match storage box popular in the mid-to-late 19th century. They have a small hole or finial as part of the design, into which a lit match could be placed. It would act like a miniature candle and would burn for long enough for the person to snuff out the candles and get into bed not risking taking a candle near the fabric of a bed.
    There is some wear and soiling. The wear includes a few knocks. Please review the photographs and email me if you have any questions or want additional photographs.
    I mainly sell used older items including antiques, collectibles and oddities so please expect some signs of wear from use. I will identify or describe any unusual or notable wear and damage in the description of the item or in the photographs but please email me if you have specific concerns I have not addressed.
