Vintage Matchbox

Matches use to be a popular collectors item, sparking popularity in the 1940s. Anti smoking campaigns brought down the collectors market however, these pieces continue to remain in many families treasure chests. I just love how detailed some of these matches are; featuring a poem or some type of illustration on the inside. This one is from Wyoming. My ancestors use to love the rodeo, BBQ, & horses. Perfect purchase for that crafty individual interested in making a shadow box with vintage matches or the modern day smoker who appreciates history & collects.
