MATCHBOX LABELS

Since the invention of the friction match, manufacturers have used labels on their matchboxes to attract, amuse or inform their customers. A variety of sizes and shapes of labelling has been used on a multitude of different containers for matches over the years. A small collection of matchbox tops collected between 1940-1946 in India and Ceylon.other countries : U.S.A. Canada,South Africa, Australia.

These have been kept in an attic for over 60 years.They are not for sale as they are not big enough to scan to 7"x5". Just thought they might be of interest.
