An Ornamental Horn Match Holder
A match holder made of the horn shell of cattle hoofs mounted on a wooden shield, as shown in the sketch is both ornamental and useful. One of the pockets holds the unused matches and the other the burnt ones. The hoofs were cleaned thoroughly and polished and the edge of the shield was beveled off and varnished in the natural color of the wood. The front was lacquered black and also varnished.
