Match Holder

Linda must be using a time machine on those trips, they quit making them in 1987.

The only ones I can find are Diamond brand and they're pretty much strike anywhere in name only......

I hear there's a brand called Penley that are somewhat better but I've yet to find a source.

You can still buy the Red Bird brand in Canada but as I mentioned, they aren't very big.

Linda bought her last ones maybe more than a couple of years ago. "Ohio Blue Tip" is promenantly displayed on the box. They work just fine, strike on anything, just like they always did. They are also the same length they always were. My Parker match box is full of them and I keep them on the work bench by the outside barbeque area. Linda buys, or used to buy them, by the 250 box in Charlestown, WVA at the Walmart. It is right on the way to our pigeon club. Very convenient. I think they make "don't really strike anywhere" matches for some markets. I googled and read that Diamond quit making the red with white tip Ohio Blue Tips in January of 2010. Linda may have the last supply. I will check at Walmart next time I attend a pigeon shoot.

That's interesting, I just did some google work and it looks like they brought the name back out in 2012. I've never seen any of them, will have to try to locate a supply for testing.
