117 vintage world-mreeting matchboxes – A journey into 1900s advertising
A fascinating collection of 117 vintage advertising matchboxes from different countries around the world, housed in 13 collectible sheets, included in the lot.
Small everyday objects that today tell a story of an era: the history of advertising, grand hotels, restaurants, casinos, airlines and international brands.
The collection includes boxes dedicated to famous names such as Marlboro, Camel, Gauloises, Philip Morris, Winston and Hard Rock Cafe, together with testimonies of international tourism, from Las Vegas to Paris, from San Francisco to Dublin.
Some commemorative specimens are particularly interesting, including one dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Jules Verne's birth (1828–1978) and another relating to the 70th anniversary of the United States' entry into World War I.
A collection rich in colors, illustrations and curiosities, capable of fascinating enthusiasts of philumeny, vintage advertising and 20th-century history.
