Here is a scarce, interesting Anheuser Busch Match Safe from the late 1800's with the smaller A eagle. It has been found in the Cooperstown New York area which is the original home of the Busch beer family. It is possible the monogram is Otsego County in NY has a lot of Hops growers due to the ideal soil in growing hops. It is possible that thee monogram may be that of an original Busch family member. It measures 2 1/2” tall and 1 1/4” wide and about 1/4 thick. Original safety matches are in the case. I believe the material is nickel over brass, but I am not completely certain. Please emai... |
