A collector's treasure: five different vintage matchboxes from the 1950s and 1960s. These boxes feature colorful period graphics and advertising that reflect the everyday life and aesthetics of their time. The set includes, among others, a Paulig coffee advertisement, a SPAR store advertisement, a SOK theme emphasizing work, a humorous Turha biire pois illustration, and a VIVI bookshelf advertisement.
Matchboxes are gems of Finnish graphic design and advertising – they are suitable for collecting, interior decoration or, for example, for use as stage sets. Each box has its own unique patina, which tells of decades gone by.
