A framed folk art shadow box assemblage featuring a vintage erotic novelty matchbox, dating to the early 1900s. The presentation includes an authentic Uncle Sam brand matchbox cover from The Diamond Match Company and a hand-colored 3D paper insert depicting a couple in an intimate pose. The insert is constructed using layered paper and glass to create a three-dimensional effect, a technique common in early 20th-century stag novelties designed to be hidden within a matchbox tray. The components are mounted on a red fabric ground alongside an empty matchbox tray and a handwritten descriptive note. The assembly is housed in a black textured-leatherette frame. The matchbox label features printed text: MADE IN U.S.A., UNCLE SAM, SAFETY MATCHES, THE DIAMOND MATCH COMPANY.
