He was an ashtray in a previous life, but now he will function as a match holder in the bathroom.  I have been looking for one of these for a few years and I can’t tell you the utter joy I felt when I spotted him in the back of a locked cabinet at a flea market. The first time I saw one of these was this summer at an antique shop near Pike Place Market. It was a “Barbershop Quartet” so there was four of them and they wanted about $500 for the set. I got this guy for about $35…ooh…the thrill of the hunt. I love it so.
