This unique match strike (or pyrogène in French) is a reproduction of those found throughout late 19th and early 20th century Europe. At that time, it was common to see a match striker sitting on a bistro table or bar. The strikers served three purposes. First, the top cylindrical container was used to hold matches. Secondly, the ribbed surface on its side (or base) was used to strike and ignite the match. And lastly, the piece served as an advertising venue. Many companies used items like these to promote their wares, and were usually provided to the bar for free.
Included inside each gift box is a box of 100 "strike anywhere" matches. Strike anywhere matches are also for sale on our website and the internet. Our matches are made to ignite on various rough surfaces, while ordinary "strike on box" kitchen matches are made to be struck on the side of their box. The difference between strike anywhere matches and typical kitchen matches is the amount of phosphorus at the tip of the match. Regular household kitchen matches will not light on our match strikes.
