This is a B-Stock listing. These match strikes are B-Stock because of imperfections. These imperfections could include: crooked/faded lines and/or text, decal (artwork) could be crooked, and/or other defects. These imperfections do not affect the functionality of the match strikers.

This unique match strike (or pyrogène in French) is a reproduction of those found throughout late 19th and early 20th century Europe. At that time, it was common to see a match striker sitting on a bistro table or bar. The strikers served three purposes. First, the hollowed-out top was used to store matches. Secondly, its side or base (with its ribbed surface) was used to strike and ignite the match. And lastly, the piece served as an advertising venue. Many distilleries used these match strikes to promote their liquor, and were usually provided to the bar for free.

White-tip, or "Strike Anywhere," matches are suggested for use and are available at specialty stores online. Regular household kitchen strike-on-box matches will not light, as the white-tip match is needed. White-tip, Strike Anywhere kitchen matches are used in the photo. The strikers can also be used to hold a variety of items, such as toothpicks.

    This Match holder is beautifully made, and the color is just divine. I had to order the matching matches from Etsy to ensure they matched perfectly.

    Dirty

    I didnt detect any misspellings, but the item was dirty... which was a rather avoidable "defect", but alrighty.

    Great gift! The print at the base was not centered and a bit wonky, but to be expected from B-stock.

    Match Strike

    Absolutely stunning. Takes some practice to get the hang of striking the white tipped matches just right but worth it. Beautiful detail for table or kitchen counter.
