Vintage Antique Silver Match Safe Boxes Print Ad and Catalog Reference Material - We have acquired several old print ads from newspapers, magazines and old catalogs that illustrate antique silver match safe boxes. We have restored the print material to as it was when it was first printed.
Match safes as known a long time ago known as match boxes or vesta cases were extremely popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century amongst both women and men. Giving a person a "light" for their cigarette was a common way to break the ice socialy. How better to do so than to display a beautiful silver work of art in the process. In today's modern age of cigar rooms and smoking clubs, there has been a renaissance with these pieces and most are very highly collectible some worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
