Just something I wanted to mention. Many years ago, my wife started a match collection. As we or I would travel, we'd simply pick up a box or two of those free matches given out at restaurants, hotels, and business offices. They make a nice little keep sake, walk down memory lane and some of them are very decorative. You put some of them in a picture frame and hang it up, it will amaze you how quests will stare at that trying to see if they have been there or not etc. The survival aspect is we have a basket of matches That's three feet tall and two foot wide. That's a lot of matches.  Since they have been kept in a part of our home that is humidity controlled even the ones 20 years old still light just like new. I just wanted to throw that out there to add to your free pick up list like those neat plastic sporks. TJ |
| Once sold a single box of early Vesta type matches on the ebay for more then enough to buy me an AR upper ....Got around $500, and had only paid $1 for them in a junk shop too. Was curious and I tried a couple and none of them worked either....Got $175 for a different old box of matches another time .....Todd |
