A ceramic match holder featuring a gaggle of three geese standing in the grass with their heads raised and likely honking. Underneath the grass is an inscription that reads, “We want our Votes!” The match holder was likely created to make an anti-suffrage statement that equates suffragists with “silly geese.” The match holder was possibly made by Schafer & Vater, German makers of small ceramic items between 1910 and 1914.

The match holder was purchased by Anne Anderson Perry, a member of the Women’s Suffrage Association in Manitoba as table decoration for an event. Perry later gifted the match holder to Valance St. Just Patriarche, who worked as a movie censor at the time and who was against women receiving the vote. Valance held onto the item for several years and then it was offered to Special Collections & Archives as part of the Lady Aberdeen collection. While it is currently listed as part of the Alice Riggs Hunt fonds, it is unclear how it came to be associated with this fonds.

The majority of the archives of the Concordia Club were destroyed either as a result of the ransacking of the club by the 118th Batallion in 1916, or as a result of the fire of November 17, 1971. As a result the earliest records of Concordia have largely been lost forever. A very small number of items can be traced back to the Concordia Male Choir (1873-1914). These take the form of two items of correspondence, programs for the "Sängerfests", clippings, and photographs. A small number of archival records also can be found which belonged to the "Deutscher Club, Kitchener" (1925-1930), and include a set of house rules, letters patent, and photographs. Some records from the 1930s have also been preserved to this day, and include artifacts, clippings, legal documents, a membership list, photographs, and programs of events. However, the majority of the materials date from the 1950s onwards. These materials document the history of the Concordia Club since the 1950s, and include artifacts, audiovisual material, clippings, correspondence, ephemera, financial records, legal documents, membership records, minutes of meetings, photographs, publications, and scrapbooks.
