Hi everyone!!
I've collected many match safes and match holders over the years, but these are the first match safes in the form of a duck. These fellows are cold painted spelter and were made in Austria. As you can see, in pic #4, the striker plates are on the bottom of each. I'm not sure of the age of these two fellas, but I'm willing to believe they're no older than the 1960's. They each measure 5" long and 2 3/4" tall.
Thanks very much for stopping in for a look!!

This pair of duck safes is delightful, and what a clever design!
Jenni,
Thanks!! Yes, I too thought they are a very clever design. I guess they could also be used as a trinket box.
