Edgar, are those Parker shells?

Match safe...
 

where can you find those old strike anywhere matches? I haven't seen them for years around here..

My hardware store always has them but Amazon does , just in case my hardware store is too far away.

some of the small town grocery stores (non big chains) around here carry them

They, along with so many other products in America, have been deemed 'unsafe'.... you might start a fire with them...:shock:





.

What frame size is it?

Ironically, I just picked up another batch, and low and behold, Dean was close; they emit Carbon Monoxide!:eek:

only in California

When I was a kid, I had an old feeble King BB-Gun (Think Daisy 25). One of my buddies and I would run the BBs out, and raid the strike anywhere matches on the fusebox, and wrap old copper wire around the stick just behind the head for weight. Stuck the match stick tail down the barrel and 'blazed away'.
We had a block front porch railing where we'd shoot at paper targets taped on the other end of the porch and when the matches hit the blocks they'd light.
Kinda fun for 9 or 10 year old kids. :whistle::nono:

I have a Marble's match safe I'll be on the look out for a Parker safe at the next DC Big Flea never know what you'll find. J.J.

I wonder if California requires that warning on automobiles ?
