vintage matchbox holders

i had an irresistible urge to buy a vintage matchbox holder today and the best were to be found on etsy - where you can find various types made of tin, wood, bronze, etc...tho the tin ones are my favourate.  i'm pretty sure we don't have wall hanging types like this here in the UK - they seem to be particular to the US and i'm sorely tempted to learn how to make them as i think they are fab. i eventually went for this red  beauty for my kitchen....
and another one for my bathroom.  why you may ask....well, its a top tip for nasty niffs from a friend's trip to thailand (& particularly unsavoury toilet trips after too hot & spicy meals...ha ha)...just light up a match! oh dear, i think i have gone slightly bonkers with these latest purchases....
