Nydelig gammel fyrstikkholder fra Advance Thresher Co. som var en amerikansk produsent av dampdrevne traktorer.

Advance Thresher Co. produserte traktor-modellen «Advance Traction Engine» i perioden 1885–1917, og fyrstikkholderen er fra den samme perioden.

Holderen er laget i metall og trekk av celluloid med fargetrykk.

I fin stand, men celluloiden har løsnet noe på den ene siden (se bilder).
