Equinox Buckle Update - Not A Buckle..but Is...

[Gerry in Idaho]

I posted photos of some recent find and last week and asked about a buckle that said Reed with bee (see photos). 

Found out from another EQ user who said it is a Match Book Box Holder (see photos).

This is my 1st of this style.  Anyone else find any likes these?

Thanks for all your help folks.

Ah ha!  I've seen those before in antique shops, but never dug one. 

I have dug some Victorian match safes, and sifted a beautiful sterling silver Art Nouveau designed match safe at Tonopah.

Here's one I found in an old miner's camp, somebody painted it red, was considering stripping paint off to see what might be underneath. It's lucky it wasn't crushed when cabin fell in.
