Bidding starts in 0d 0h 40m

Add a touch of whimsical curiosity to your collection with this exquisite vintage brass trinket box, masterfully cast in the form of a common housefly. This heavy, solid brass piece serves as a delightful functional sculpture, traditionally used as a vesta case (match holder) or a lidded ashtray. The fly features exceptional anatomical detail, from the textured, compound-style eyes to the intricate veining on the wings. The wings are cleverly hinged, lifting to reveal a hollow compartment perfect for storing matches, jewelry, or small keepsakes. Pickup category timeslot {A}
