Matchbox Labels: Themed: Unique

This was a hobby that started long back – when we were kids – Dad encouraged me to write to the matchbox factories – the owners were so nice, they would reply back with a ‘God bless you’ and send matchbox labels in mint condition.(I think there will be some at home still with the handwritten notes).

From the giant collection, these are some of the key ones…so uniquely themed – Laurel and Hardy, Elvis, old movies….I wrote to the guy who would send them to us, as he sent us whole matchboxes with the matches.. he said he personally creates each matchbox .. amazing, indeed.

Some more on the topic in the coming days.
