      I might be wrong but it looks like a Kitchen match stick holder

      I will agree with Vynil on being a stick match holder. You opened the box of matches a bit then slid the entire box down into this holder. I have visited one a good many times in my younger years when we had wood stoves.

      My grandparents had a similar one by their gas cook stove—way back in the days when you struck the match, then turned the little knob to let the gas flow.

      Thank you for the information.

      I agree w/ Vynil & fhrjr2 -- a wall mounted holder for a box of large wood matches.
