Intricate & Elaborate Gorham Sterling Match Safe
The front of this match safe depicts a golf bag holding 3
clubs, laid over a background of a pin flag, a golf club
and two heart shaped pin markers numbered 2 and 4.
It is all surrounded by an elaborate thistle design
extending through to the top lid.
The Gorham Mfg. company trademark and “sterling”
appears on the lid rim as well as the number B222.
The 2 ¼ x 1 ½ “ safe even contains what appears to be
two original period wooden matches.
The latch mechanism works well and the lid snaps tight.
This is one of the finest golf related match safes we have
seen. It is also pictured as item 228 in Decorative Golf
Collectibles by Sprung.
