Default Help dating a baseball match box

Posted By: Greg

I just looked at the match boxes. Both are very small, have the striker (both are white in color, not black, and both are very coarse material) on one end of the box and a slide drawer on the other end holding the matches. Both are jusr shy of two inches long on the rectangle. Both retain their original matches, which are barely twigs, much smaller than the matches on the baseball box. One set of matches were made in Italy and I assume they printed the overlying paper in the US for a small Rhode Island Brewer. Who knows...

For some reason, I'm failing miserably to add a pic here. If anyone has a suggestion on how to do it, I'll insert a pic.

Hope this helps. Again, I know nothing of the baseball box, but it doesn't have the same look to it as either of these boxes which I know are authentic.
