Vintage 1930 Charlie Chaplin Toothpick Match Holder Clear Glass Early 20th Century Collectable

🎩 Step right up for a little slice of early Hollywood charm. This 1930 clear glass Charlie Chaplin toothpick or match holder was made by Geo. Borgfeldt & Co., and it’s one of those quirky, joyful pieces that instantly sparks conversation.

This molded glass figure of Charlie Chaplin — complete with his iconic bowler hat and cane — stands proudly beside a barrel‑shaped container that once held toothpicks or matches. It’s whimsical, nostalgic, and wonderfully detailed for a piece from the early 20th century.

The bottom is embossed with “Patent Applied For”, a sweet little nod to its age and authenticity. These Borgfeldt pieces are getting harder to find, especially in clear glass.
