Savvy Jack Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Are there any pottery makers here? I was somewhat interested in someone making some match holder/ashtrays as seen in some of the old westerns. Probably not a big market for them but thought a few my be interested.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 There are many pottery makers on Etsy. There might be someone interested in doing what you want.
Alpo Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Etsy is already selling several of them. River Junction used to sell them. I bought one. Now they might work real good out in the Southwest, where they consider it to be a humid day if the humidity is over 15%. But here in Florida, where we think it is an extremely dry day if the humidity drops below 85%, the {match is} MATCHES setting out in the holder soaked up moisture, and then when you try to strike them the heads would fall apart. Oh well.
Savvy Jack Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 I have been searching for years and can not find what I am looking for....just like the one in the photo. I purchased a small one but never was happy with it....it is nowhere near like the one I want.
