Some beautiful and very old Bernard Fürth's (and one ARTB label of Adalbert Scheinost) Austrian labels were added to my collection latly and I will be happy to show them to you out there

This one is very interesting one since it has the name of Bernard Fürth on it,
but it is probably from Sweden.
Label show 2 odd figures, Wajang maybe.

My small Fürth's Elephant collection. The blue long one and the big one
at the bottom, are for export to Italy.
The blue long one was used for wrapping old wooden matchbox.

These 3 labels are very colorful and well preserved for their age and were aimed to the Chinese market:




Very nice long label showing a Unicorn in some kind of a basket
 aimed to the Arabic market

Beautiful ARTB label made for the Croatian market

Another beautiful ARTB label - the Ship's drawing is the same as
the above label made for the Chinese market 


A Packet label made for the Greek market

A Packet label made for the Swedish market

This is an interesting ad form an Austrian newspaper with the names of the private Austrian manufactures of those old days that were incorporated into SOLO

I don't understand German (even that my blessed memory grand parents were born in Germany), so if somebody can translate this ad for me, I will thank him.

The ad includes the known Austrian private manufactures of those old days pre. WW1 that were incorporated into SOLO Match (Austria).


  • Adalbert Vojtech Scheinost
  • Bernard Fürth
  • K.K. Priv
  • Moritz Meissner

The Austrian old (pre.1914) labels are so picturesque

"Am I beautiful?"

And here are some more examples (not mine) of the beauty of the Solo Match labels (I hope that someday they will be mine):

My old Austrian labels of Fl. Pojatzi and Comp.





Florian Pojatzi and Comp. was a famous Austrian
company for matches since about 1864.
The company like most of the independent manufacturers
were absorbed into Austrian Solo match company at 1906
