  All stunning stuff! I prefer the old matchbox labels to the new ones. By the way, where do you get these labels, collecting or buying from other E-bay ?

  Some very interesting and wonderful looking vintage matchbox packaging. You really know your stuff.
  Deserve far more praise!

  I’m convinced that these matchbox labels will also look nice when printed on T-shirts.
