An intriguing 48x37 mm metal match Vespa in the shape of a bound book with hinged covers, mirrored interior chamber on one side to hold matches, and a spring-loaded coin dispenser inside the other (currently holds a 1947 Farthing). With inset serrated groove along outside of "pages" for match-striking. Date of manufacturing uncertain, although engraved into small oval disc on book cover: "E. Davies / 1913".
