Bronze Elephant Figural Matchsafe

Here's a charming little fellow!  A bronze anthropomorphic elephant, dressed as a Victorian gentleman, wearing a waistcoat, trousers, long coat and skullcap.  To complete the vignette he is smoking a cigar.

To access the matches you tilt his head back from its hinges.

Although he is small in stature he weighs in at a hefty 1.5 pounds.  There is a signature on the base of this sculpture reading, "Stevens F."
