Bakelite Vesta Case c.1920

Bakelite novelty items from the early 20th century often took on playful or symbolic forms, reflecting both personal interests and popular motifs of the time. This vesta case dates to around 1920 and is shaped as a horseshoe on a hoof, a design traditionally associated with good luck and equestrian themes. It weighs 12.6g and is 47mm high, with a hinged lid that keeps the contents secure. The Bakelite construction gives it the characteristic warm tone and durability associated with early plastics. A compact and distinctive piece that works well as both a collectible and a conversation item.
