Hair Pin Box & Cover ~ Match Box

Item Number: CC-05
Approximate Size: 3½″ L; 1¾″ W; 1½″ H
Production Dates: 1915-1925

This little box went by two names – the Hair Pin Box & Cover, and the Match Box. This item was first introduced in 1915 as the Hair Pin Box, and stayed in production under that same name until approximately 1925. It is important to note that this box was only referred to as a “Match Box” when it was used in the crystal 5-Piece Boudoir Set from 1918-1924. During those same years, this item was available for purchase as a solo Hair Pin Box, or one could purchase the Boudoir Set (which contained the exact same box, labeled as a Match Box).

Protecting your American Glassware

To help prevent damage to our beloved American items, and to allow for easy identification, I like to use storage boxes. A variety of boxes are available, and some of them have windows which will allow you to quickly see the contents of the box. I also like identify each box with the item’s identification number. I no longer have to worry about the safety of my glassware. They are easy to access, and the attractive boxes keep my pantry very organized! ♥
