Okay, then stick with it being for a aromatic.

If anyone ever wants to find a new collectible to search for....small...but garners a good value....then look for Victorian "Go To Bed" or now days are even noted as vestas - the figural ones are the most $$$.  Most people do not know what they are and so many have been tossed/destroyed or kept just for the match holder not realizing the total use and value.  Here is one that shows the match being held.  This was used after you blew out all the candles/lanterns and needed light just enough to get to bed and settled in. They were made out of bone, pottery, cast in metals, etc.   So....be on the look out!!!

I have never heard of these.  Scary that may have past one by at some point.  Great tip to look out for!
