SALE Tracy Minnesota Minn MN Souvenir Custard High School Match Holder c1890-191

Description

The inscription reads, “High School,
Tracy
,
Minn.
” souvenir custard glass mug cup match holder. I’ve also heard them incorrectly called a toothpick holder. The picture of the school is very detailed and colorful as you can see in the photos. On the bottom of the match holder, there are a series of raised circles molded into the glass covering the entire bottom. This rough surface provides a place to strike a match to light a pipe, cigar, cigarette, fireplace, cook stove. It is 2 1/4” tall x 1 3/4” diameter at the top. Dates to approximately 1890-1910. Note in the picture of the back side it has a color swirl in the glass. That is an imperfection in the glass and not a crack or damage. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, repairs. Other towns in the area are Balaton,
Marshall
, Lucan, Wabasso, Walnut Grove, Lamberton, Slayton, Westbrook Lynd,
Chandler
