CHASE COPPER & BRASS EPHEMERA, MATCHES, NAILS, PIPE STRAP.

Description

Here are some odd Chase items we ran across as far back as 1997. The copper pipe strap was listed as a bracelet in an antique shop, but obviously is not. It has darkened significantly over the years, so is very ‘industrial’ looking, it does have the Chase logo on it. The round match holder is inprinted with: “Chase Copper Water Tube Valves & Fittings”. The last words are hard to read due to darkening of the carboard around the bottom edge. There is a striker surface on the bottom, while the top has a clear plastic disc in the lid.
The matches inside are original to the tube, or at least they were inside when we purchased it in 1998. The six copper nails range in size from 1” to 4”. Each one has the Chase logo on it’s head. The size and design of the logo is a bit different on each of them. The longest nail is quite dark and hard to see the logo, I lightened up one of the photos so it was a bit more visible. These are just fun things for the avid Chase collector and represent the industrial period of the Chase Company.
