Famous Quotes Paired with Timeless Images Matchboxes

$16.00

As a hostess gift, they will last longer than a bottle of wine or a box of cookies, and our large collection of styles—each drawn from our unrivaled 30-year collection of vintage imagery—would match any décor.

Each box has a wood top covered with a bold graphic paper that is decoupaged, and the corners are fitted by hand with copper tape. All of the materials are made in the USA except for the ink that is used for printing, and our final products are also created here in our historic Hudson Valley, NY, studios.

Each box of matches has a famous quote with vintage images.
