Match Box
This match box was used by my parents for many years. I don't know its origin, but I remember it in the basement at 132 South Oneida Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin, from the mid-1920's. It was mounted near the furnace and remained there when the house was sold to Carl and Marian Sippel in 1950 or 1951. They continued to use the box for matches in the basement until 1982. They gave it to me for Christmas 1982. It continues in use for matches beside our Franklin stove.
The box is wall-mounted of cast iron, and is of self-closing design. It measures about 3¾″ × 2¼ × 1″ – just right for a handful of wooden kitchen matches. These words are cast on the lid:
Self Closing – for matches &c. – Patented Dec. 20, 1864 – D.N & Co. – New Haven
. The bottom is made rough as a place to scratch the matches. The remainder is coated with black enamel.In 1983, I removed the original enamel and recoated it with new black enamel.
