A very interesting auction of old Palestine Mandate Matchbox labels (I wish they were mine)

The MATCHBOX LABELS of the PALESTINE MANDATE
"A fascinating collection on exhibit pages and stock sheets. Little study has been undertaken about the match industry in Palestine and the present offering is little more than a record of the known (or discovered) issues and companies. There is clearly an opportunity for further research.
Five companies have been identified and are represented in the collection: The Eastern Arabic Match Works Co. Ltd., The Eastern Match Works Co. Ltd. (same company?), Namer Co., Nur Safety Match Co. and Donagit. Many variations in their labels and packaging are shown, together with several documents, orders, a telegram, etc. Should be viewed."
   
Realized: $1300
Estimate: $1,250 - $1,500
