About
Union Match Bruxelles Tobacconist advertising over sized match box circa 1925
This lot is a circa 1925 tobacconist’s oversized Union Match box. The artefact is housed in a bespoke handmade cast metal 4 foot display case. The metal frame is well made and on the reverse is a metal decorative crest as shown in the photos provided. The match box can be taken out of the case and once inserted into the Stand the match box automatically displays as open due to a metal lip at the base. A truly wonderful example of old aged tobacco retail advertising display history. Each match stick can be removed from the box which opens and closes with ease. The Union Match company in Belgium ceased to exist in the 1940 and shortly after production of the matches also stopped. This is a rare example due to it being housed in a bespoke display case, still firm in form and condition and having a full set of original matches in the box, a truly brilliant display item and who ever purchases it will not be disappointed with its presence and overall decorative look.
