Vintage Matchbook and Matchbox Collection (78 Match books/boxes) in an old Bay of Naples Tin

ON AUCTION IS A LARGE COLLECTION OF 78 VINTAGE MATCH BOOKS AND MATCH BOXES. PUT TOGETHER IN AN OLD TIN WITH A SCREENPRINT OF THE BAY OF NAPLES ON LID.
 
THESE MATCHBOXES ARE ALL VINTAGE MID TWENTIETH CENTURY. THESE OLDER MATCHBOOKS, OFTEN HOLD MORE HISTORICAL AND NOSTALGIC VALUE.
 
SOME MATCHBOOKS ARE FROM SPECIFIC EVENTS, BUSINESSES, OR LOCATIONS THAT ARE NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE AND ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER.
 
MOST ARE IN GOOD TO NEAR-MINT CONDITION WITH INTACT MATCHES WHICH ARE MORE VALUABLE TO COLLECTORS.
 
Collecting vintage matchboxes and matchbooks, also known as phillumeny, offers a fascinating journey into history, design, and culture. These small, often overlooked objects encapsulate advertising trends, societal shifts, and even political ideologies of their time. Collectors appreciate the unique artwork, historical significance, and the stories that these matchboxes tell.
