Discover the magic of matchsticks, igniting connections and bringing warmth to your home and your world. From international labels like Belgium's Phileas, Great Britain's Mammoth, and the Netherlands' Vlaanderen, to iconic trademarks such as Darby & Joan, these humble sticks have a rich advertising history. Darby & Joan, ideal for both the home and the smoker, once graced the boxes of matches used for brewing coffee and lighting cigarettes. The Florence Upton playing cards and Flag of Truce bear testament to the creativity and artistry that can be achieved with matchsticks. And speaking of art, remember the woman who built a model ship from matchsticks or Mr. Johns from St. Just, Cornwall, who constructed a marvelous model production line? But they have their challenges too. Witness the tree that once stood tall, now reduced to ashes by a volcanic eruption, only to be resurrected in the form of countless matchsticks, ready to ignite a new beginning.
