Desirable barrel-shaped matchstick holder, measuring approximately 3″ tall and 2.5″ in diameter, crafted from wood removed from the bowsprit from Horatio Nelson's flagship, the HMS Victory. A metal identification plaque on the front reads: "From the Bowsprit of HMS Victory, (Nelson's Flagship Trafalgar 1805), Purchased 2nd June 1937." In fine condition, with hairline cracks to front and back. An unusually large-sized example of this miniature ship’s keg.
