    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help with this Planter? I'm not even sure if it is a Planter? It's made of brass I believe. A magnet didn't stick to it at least. Dated on the back May 1891. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Looks like a match holder.

    It's pretty big. 11 inches long, 10 inches across, and a 4 inches wide. Would that be too big for a match holder? Thanks.

    The patent date is not the date it was made.

    Agree, not a planter. Do you think someone has shabby chic-ed it?
