Antique Cast Iron Judd Dapper Dan Art Deco Match Holder Cigar Tray 2906 – it is a match for the same model Doorstop made by Judd. The doorstop is listed on page 208 of The Doorstop Encyclopedia by Smith as shown in my last photo. This uses the same design but is instead a match box holder ashtray with handle. Measures 8 1/4″ tall and base is 3″ x 4 1/8. It has all original paint with no repaint. The screws holding back in place look like replacements but do a good job. The only issue is the front panel for the match holder has come loose but it fits tight in the seam and was possibly made that way; it is a minor issue as it displays fine. It is marked with the 4 digit code 2906 and is guaranteed genuine H L Judd. In New Britain, Connecticut. The firm changed hands among family members and company names for a hundred years as it evolved into the J. In 1864, Albert, Edward and Hubert Judd moved the company to New Haven, Connecticut, then to its permanent location in Wallingford, Connecticut. A few years later, Hubert Judd struck out on his own to start the H. Judd Company in Brooklyn, NY. Judd took control of the Wallingford plant. In the early 1910s, they began to produce a decorative art metal line of fine-quality sand castings in iron, brass and bronze. Among these items were bookends and book racks, which were produced between 1910 and the late 1930s. Judd identified their bookends with a 9000 series stock number. The prefix 0 was used in front of the 9000 series number on iron castings only when the same design was cast in both bronze and iron. Other items were marked with similar 4 numerals code.
