Matchbox Collections/Collectibles

Phillumeny is the hobby of Phillumenists. Phillumenists collect matchbox labels, matchbox outers, matchboxes, matchbook covers, matchbooks, and other forms of match packaging as well as match strikers, match holders, matchbox holders and matchbook holders. Many phillumenists are interested in other aspects of the match industry and match trade.

Matchbook

A matchbook is a small cardboard container (matchcover) that holds a quantity of matches inside and has a coarse striking surface on the exterior. A flap on the front is lifted to access the matches, which are attached to the interior base in a comb-like pattern and must be torn away before use. (In the matchbox, by contrast, the matches are arranged loosely in the interior tray.)
