Pictures of the latest Additions
This page shows the latest match striker pictures added to the site for those who don't want to dig into the individual manufaturers pages. I'll try and change them each time I update the site (August 2009 update).   This match striker pot was picked up by Christine Karalius and features St. Quentin and the Latin "motto pro deo et patria" but what it is referring to we can't figure out.  A nice Carlton Ware Bryant and May match striker picture sent in by Simon Hartley.   This is an interesting example found in an antique shop in California by Wes Jones as a present for a striker collecting friend. It made of carved pumice and pewter, and is marked as "Raimond Pewter" which appears to be an Italian firm.  A Meadowcroft and Law ginger beer bottle shaped match striker. Colin from Blackburn, Lancashire sent the image, and the striker itself was dug up by his friend Steve who says it's a rare one (he's only come across this type of striker for this firm once in 30 years of bottle digging). |
