Please find devil's head matchstick holder and striker on base of neck. Push button nose opens lid on head. The horns are two matchsticks. There is a necklace fastener to rear of head. Approx 4cm x 5cm. It is made of metal but where it has been fingered it has lost its brightness. Originally coloured in a brass colour. Any questions please ask. Thanks for looking. I would guess from 1970s but not really sure. I have just done a little research on this and found one previously sold on ebay described as being from 1900 and you lit the two matchstick horns to light your way to bed. This is quite a rare and expensive item (going from what the last one sold for). Please don't miss the opportunity to own it. Any questions please ask and if you live locally I am happy for you to come and view it. Thanks for your time. If you have any information about this item can you please let me know. I am unsure if it is original or if they produced replicas of it. I have accurately described it and a magnet does not attach to it. I do know it has sat in my loft the last 25 years of its life but that is all I really know. If you have any knowledge or even if you can tell me what to look for I would be happy to answer any questions. Added extra photos so you can see it better.
