Suggested Reading:

Collectable Match-Holders from Bryant & May by Bob Swithenbank (ISBN 0-905111-12-5, published in 2004)

This 120 page book is an extremely comprehensive guide to (just about) all the vesta cases, tin plate match boxes, wall mounted match holders and match strikers manufactured for and by the Bryant & May match company (chapter 5 on the ceramic match strikers is my favorite). As well as pictures of the items, the book is also illustrated by old adverts etc for Bryant & Mays products.
