Old Time Match Boxes...
Most of us here have our fancy torch lighters (me included), or we use wooden matches, or the cedar from inside tubes to light our puros... Going back to a slower time when most men carried 'match boxes' to hold ther store of matches. I picked up a couple recently at auction, and wonder does anybody on the board use there things besides me?

Re: Old Time Match Boxes...
Those look great! I am sure my grandpa would have a few of them tucked away somewhere in his house. He collects antiques and stuff like that. The boxes look unique and would definately be a conversation starter!

Re: Old Time Match Boxes...
Thanks for the comments. Yes they are conversation starters when I pull them out at a herf, especially the prohibition one. There is a rough area on the end of the small one, and the Vesta box has a striker on the bottom. Remember, these were probably used with 'strike anywhere' matches (that is what I use).
