    Can someone help me identify this.
    I found it in my Mother in Laws attic. Pretty rough condition.
    There are two plungers one for dispensing something and one that is a cutter. There are two holes in the fron of the cutter.
    I think it is a smoking stand that has a match dispenser.
    or possibly a tobacco dispenser.
    There is a brass tag that says:
    Patent Pending
    Anderson & Paterson
    Thanks

      What is the width inside the dispenser chamber? Does dispensed product fall into the drawer or come down in front of the mirror?
    2. pkaus, 12 years ago
      Inside the chamber is 2 1/4"
      The item would fall down the mirror
      Thanks for helping

      It has me stumped!
    4. pkaus, 12 years ago
      Yes me too I can't find one or any info on it anywhere.
      Thanks for looking

      Are you in the U S?
    6. pkaus, 12 years ago
      Yes St Louis area
      I may have to take it to a smoke shop or antique store

      I wondered about your location as I had looked at the U S patents but came up short so it must not have been patented. I thought it could be for dispensing cigarettes, but it appears to be too narrow for that.
    8. pkaus, 12 years ago
      That was my first thought too
      I think it is for dispensing wood matches
      And the cutter is for cutting a newly rolled cigarettes
      The drawer catches the cuts and then can be re-rolled or thrown away

      Did you find out what this is?
