Anyone ever seen one of these?

[erdnase]

It's a Park Sherman Co Match Safe. I bought it this morning at an antique shop for $12.00 I love old vintage lighters and things like this. My swan matches fit in there perfectly. I'd never seen one before today. I'm going to keep with my pipe and tobacco travel pouch.
Onward...

That is very cool.
Now I must find one. :puffpipe:

I had one about 50 years ago - before I was even old enough to play with matches.
That and my gazillion piece Swiss army knife.

Now that's nice find - congrats!

Very cool! Useful too if you are an outdoorsman.

 

[cigrmaster]

Very cool pick up.

That is a nice find my brother....
I see some newer ones like this, but that one has S-t-y-l-e

think I like the gunmetal version of it

or this design

 

[photoman13]

That is pretty nifty. Is it waterproof?

 

[thesmokindragon]

The three I listed are waterproof and the last one goes for around $11.00 plus shipping

Smokingdragon where did you find those? I've been looking for something like that to replace one one I lost a few years back.

We found one (old Boy Scouts) in my parents basement. My brother claimed it, but I may try to finaggle it back, he doesn't smoke.

It looks just like the ones the Boy Scouts used to sell back in the 1950's.

I have a couple of the old army issue plastic ones. One in my bug out bag and one in my daily carry bag.

These guys carry a lot of cool EDC gear.

I bought a couple of the metal (tin I think) ones from "Duluth Trading Company" catalog. I assume they still have them on their web site as well.

 

[erdnase]

Yeah, those are cool!
There is something about this one that just called out to me. It's got a couple of small dings which give it character. And, like other vintage items, it's got a story behind it. I love thinking about how many hands this has been through, and who may have owned it.
Onward...

I have a survivor's knife that has a hollowed out handle very similar to that.
