Suchard in capitals on the front, and also marked 'Made in Vienna' on the back. The top flips back to open, and it closes with a very good snap shut. Has a striker on the bottom.Philipe Suchard opened a confectioner's business in Neuchatel, Switzerland in 1824 before establishing his chocolate company in 1826. Suchard Chocolate has been a hit ever since, this vesta matchsafe probably dates to c. 1890.The vesta meausres approx. 2.5 cms x 4.5 cms, is in 'used' condition as you can see from the pictures above, but a truely rare example.
