Matchcase
1743-1768
The brass matchcase served to
hold a smoldering match cord when it was being used to ignite grenades.
When
grenades became obsolete, the matchcase remained on the belts of the grenadiers as an
ornament.
Based on two originals
uncovered at the Fortress Louisbourg, the matchcase is made from brass and is handcrafted
by our tinsmith to the proper dimensions.
It is completed with a hand-turned to
hardwood plug.
