I can't find another wee fellow quite like this one. So it is probably a special piece for a collector of matchboxes or vesta cases.
This is a match safe which use to store matches and it also has a little striker section on the inside near Mr Toad's bottom lip.
It is really special and made of good quality cast iron. The match safe retains its original red paintwork. This is in good antique condition but commensurate with the matchbox being picked up and put down over a period of 100 years or more.
Mr Toad is hinged at the back with a good solid built-in cast iron hinge. The modelling is very realistic and fine. As mentioned - you will not easily find another like him - so have priced it on the rarity value and his lovely antique condition.
On his base, he has an antique Victorian or early Edwardian registration number. This is 252192 / 727568, as photographed.
The dimensions are overall length: 3 3/4 inches. The width at the widest point is 3 1/5 inches. It is 1 1/2 inches at its highest point.
