Very Good. An amazing piece of First World War history. This patented fold out candlestick has a great Soldier's Camp scene on the front. There are some scratches and wear through the paint, but the majority of the picture is easily legible. A couple of possible spots of surface rust as well. Hinge works well to reveal two candles in good condition, there are also six matches in place. A little discolouration internally with some small spots of rust. What a great piece. Grade: N/A Estimate: $200 - 250
