Item Description
Perhaps it's just me, but I find something rather joyous about oversized shop display items and this giant sized match box with equally large matches is no exception... Union Matches are a Belgian brand; easily recognisable with their vibrant pink matchstick and contrasting yellow head. The smaller packets (pictured for scale) still turn up occasionally amongst old shop stock... These giant sized display boxes are likely to date to the 1950s/'60s and are far less common.
This is a good example of its type, the outer packaging retains good, vibrant colours and there are a decent quantity of matches still inside, though judging by the marks on the box's strike strips a few have fallen to their fate... There's a little wear around the edges, but this is a fun conversation piece that displays well - perfect for a mantlepiece.
It measures 31cm wide x 19.5cm high x 7cm deep.
