Smoking is a very important part of Living History, it was a populair and very common part of life in the 1930's and 1940's.

For everybody who smokes at Living History or Re-enactment events I started this website selling you all sorts of smoking accessories.

Don't smoke...but if you do, do it AUTHENIC!
 

I am selling ww2 matchbox labels.
They are 1 euro each and once you pay me trough paypal I will email you the scan.
I charge 1 euro to make up for the time and money I spend collecting them and cleaning up some of the images.

Some have been restored, some are just scans of the original.
You can then easily print them out yourself and use them as much as you like.

Some are exact replicas, some have been altered a bit.

All the labels I reproduced have been made with original labels from my own collection, label images I found on the internet from collectors-sites, or have been send to me by people with the request to reproduce them..
If you think I may have used a label you did work on, contact me.
I have not stolen your work or I didnt intend to, if however this is the case I will remove the label from my website.

See anything you like, email me your order.

I also have 100% wooden matchboxes (as in the photo above) that I sell, they are from the 1950s and go very well together with these labels. Perfect for very authentic living history.
I sell these boxes for 1 euro each as well, excl shipping.
Sadly I cant send you the matches :(
