Antique Metal Match Dispenser Little Webster Mini Dictionary Swiss Cow Bell Country Estate Lot

This charming estate-found rustic dealer lot features a trio of authentic vintage and antique country collectibles. The items span early-to-mid 20th-century home utility, educational novelties, and alpine folk accents.
Key Items & Highlights:
Antique Wall-Mount Match Dispenser: A rustic, heavy-gauge sheet metal matchbox dispenser featuring a scrolling top wall-hanger tab. The front face retains a faded, lithographed romantic graphic depicting a couple under a classic architectural archway. Designed to hold full-sized wood matches, feeding them directly down into an open bottom catch tray.
The Little Webster 18000 Words Miniature Dictionary: A fascinating antique micro-book novelty. Measuring under 2 inches, the hardbound red-edged reference dictionary is packed with 18,000 miniature printed words. It fits neatly inside its original, heavily weathered brown leather travel pouch complete with an operational metal snap closure stamped with “THE LITTLE WEBSTER / 18000 Words” in faded gold-leaf typography.
Vintage Steel Swiss Cow Bell: A heavy, square-conical stamped metal livestock bell finished in a muted gold overlay over historical red paint layers. Features a rigid top loop hanger for a leather collar strap and a fully functional interior clapper swing arm.
Era: Antique early 20th century through the mid-1900s.
Condition: Genuine primitive estate character condition. The tin match dispenser displays heavy, authentic surface oxidation, edge rust, and paint thinning that enhances its industrial farmhouse appeal. The miniature dictionary pages remain bound and entirely legible, housed in a heavily creased leather pouch with a secure snap latch. The cow bell retains an excellent rustic patina with a fully working clapper that produces a loud, clear ring.
