They Don't Make Them Like They Used To

Hi all!
No digs lately, Snow, Snow, Snow.
Just before the storm, I found these items on the surface of a rocky inland beach.
(A Promising New Site) :hello2:

How long would a book of todays matches hold up :dontknow:

I Figure this is close to a century old

Also the 'Lady Esther' makeup & brass beads.
Decent eyeball finds.
Great digs to you all, Thanks for Looking! :thumbsup:

Luckily for us they dont make them like they use to.
All of these cool relics we are finding,are unique in that the
materials being used today have little quality..............K.KID. :icon_sunny:

That's REALLY Cool that it survived like that..... How old do you think it is HH! Mike.

Hi Mike,
I guess early 20th century, I just searched for 20 minutes and the closest I came is this link (not very close) http://www.militarymight.co.uk/stock_list.php?type=NA==
Many tides & storms washed over this match case :thumbsup:
