    Description

    Ohio Blue Tip Decorator Matches - This groovy retro multipack contains 3 boxes totaling 375 matches, wrapped in a colorful woodgrain-printed outer sleeve bursting with folk-art illustrations of fish, foliage, and a vintage automobile. The mid-century psychedelic artwork alone makes this a display-worthy collectible for any match or advertising enthusiast. Condition shows light shelf wear to the outer sleeve but overall presents beautifully. A true time capsule from the golden age of decorative match packaging.


    Vintage Tin Wall-Mount Match Holder - This charming red and cream tin match holder features a scalloped top edge, a wall-mount design with a built-in lower striker tray, and a lovely Victorian-style transfer print depicting a lady in a full black gown beneath a floral rose arch. The aged patina and rustic character make this a standout piece for farmhouse or cottage decor. Shows honest age-related wear and light rust consistent with its vintage origins.


    Ceramic Wall-Mount Match Holder with Fruit Motif - This sturdy white ceramic match holder features a dual-compartment design with a main box slot above and a striker or accessory tray below. The front is decorated with a richly detailed transfer print of plums, gooseberries, and red currants. A hanging hole is present at the top rear for easy wall display. A lovely addition to any vintage kitchen or country decor collection.


    Long Fireplace Matches Box - Allumettes and Matches - This oversized box of long-stem fireplace matches is labeled in both French and English, reading Allumettes and Matches on the sleeve. The colorful match heads come in a rainbow assortment of pink, yellow, green, and purple, and the box graphic features a dramatic lit match against a black background. Originally priced at one dollar from Dollarama, this box remains partially full and makes a fun and functional vintage find.
