Tobacco Pipe Holder - Indian and Bulldog Wall Mount

By bjm1188, 28 March, 2009
Description

I'm trying to figure out what I have here. From the best I can tell, this is an antique pipe, tobacco, and match holder. The backing is made of wood, with intricate metal in lays. It mounts to the wall through a chain affixed to the back.
Attached to the front of the wood boards are plaster heads, one about 1'x1' in the shape of a native american, and the other, much smaller, in teh shape of a bulldog. Both "heads" are hollowed out. The native american (which features a top) presumably to hold tobacco and the bulldog to hold matches. There is also a metal hook and wooden platform to hold the pipe.
