About the Item
VINTAGE ADVERTISING FOR ‘THE REGULAR IMPREGNATED SAFETY MATCH, JOSEPH FRANSES & CO LTD., LONDON’.
A very large oversized maxbox and its contents, originally made as a shop advertising piece.
Unusually, this example is full of its original contents of the oversized matches.
A scale replica of the usual small-sized box, using all the same materials, cardboard with paper labels and striking strips on each side. The matches are also scaled up using the same wood and tips.
Overall, it is excellent vintage condition with only minor wear commensurate with age. It is probably the best example I have found.
The box measures approximately 31cm wide x 19.5cm high x 6.5cm deep.

Italian Pirelli Wrought Iron Advertising Trade Sign 1920
Located in Hastings, GB
Absolutely incredible advertising sign for an Italian garage, blacksmith made in forged and ornate wrought Iron. This sign was removed from a garage in Turin, Italy where it had hung since 1920, advertising the variety of services the garage carried out, as well as Pirelli tyres.
The sign is wonderfully weather beaten, with losses to the paint and sections of the advertising text. Overall the sign is in superb structural condition, with a couple of small fissures, which are barely noticeable.
A truly exceptional piece of antique signage...
