I'm sorry .....
But I am not convinced this is a period item.
This looks typical of what you can buy for SS re enactment
I have 6 boxes of matches just the same as this one.

Sorry but this is fantasy

I appreciate you telling me this, where can I find three more as I have friends who are re-enacters who would like to own and it would make beautiful gifts for them
looking forward to hearing from you

Certainly fantasy items!

Here is an old thread where I presented them after acquiring them at the SOS from a well known Canadian dealer.

Nothing worse than being stupid in public....Dooah!

Hi,

if i'm right those fantasy items were recently sold on an auction site, or a webstore (i remember seeing them).

From time to time they are proposed on auctions like Berliner Auktionshaus.

See You
