When do you think this was Made?
« on: December 02, 2014, 08:27:45 pm »
I bought this match box cover recently at an antique fair and I was hoping to give it as a gift, but I wanted to know what era (roughly) this came from. Hopefully the picture is good enough. Thanks everyone!

I did clean it (I didn't get much off but it does look better), though i haven't had a chance to take a photo of it yet. It does seem to be enamal. Thanks for the estimate on the date

Search cloisonne matchbox cover and you can see quite a few.  These were really popular in the 1960's.
