It has a wavy pattern, a hinged cover, a striker base and a ring loop to allow suspension from a chain if required. Many people ask what is a vesta case used for? – The purpose for the vesta case was alternatively known as a match case as it was used to keep matches in and they were very popular items at the time.

The vesta cases protected a number of matches which were needed for smoking during the day in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. These vintage vesta cases were introduced early in the nineteenth century following the introduction of friction matches in order to prevent the matches from getting damp and also protecting the user from any danger in the case of spontaneous ignition.
