This is a William B. Kerr Match Safe, with a beautiful acid-etched engraving of a lion rampant beside the helmet of a knight in shining armor. The helmet contains feathers and plumes that morph into a shield. The image is suggestive of battle, and there is an implied event or conflict in the posture of the lion. This match safe is unique because of its acid-etching because repoussé was a much more common method of making match safes at the time. It allows for graceful details and lovely texture. The shield in the engraving is blank, so the match safe could be personalized with a name or initials.
