Advertising Match Strikers The first image is that of a ball style slab seal advertising match striker which is a new favorite of mine. The next two images show badly damaged examples of two more slab seal style advertising match strikers. The final image is of an attractive blue advertising match striker for Mumby's Ginger Ale (by appointment to His Majesty the King, which help to date it).        This match striker is also an advertising piece, although not of the slab seal type. It promotes Albert Holroyd, Glass Merchant, of Bradford (thanks to Paul Broomfield for the picture and permission to use it on the website)  Hancock
& Corfield Ltd
: From the items I've seen this firm seems to be
involved in the
manufacture and sale of advertising ware, having a presence in London
and Staffordshire. The firm of Hancock, Corfield & Waller Ltd
trades in this material today, but I am unsure whether they are
connected.
  Longwy (?) : While I usually don't speculate about manufacturers this example is sufficiently unusual in design I'm fairly certain it can be attributed to the above factory. It is an advertising match striker for ' Taverne Du Chateau D'Eau', and on the base it read A. Duval, Suc, Paris, 24, Faub Du Temple. The match striker and match well are separate metal pieces, held onto a ceramic base by a screw and washer .        From Carole Thompson  |
