Federal match box covers with RAN badges

Federal Match Box Covers with Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Badges

In the days when most people smoked and cigarette lighters were not a common item there were several brands of matches sold. Redheads was one. Federal was another. Each box had 50 matches and each box had a different image from a series. Match box cover collecting was popular.

Part of this collection from John Kasnik and supplied by CW4 (CWO) Herbert H "Sarge" Booker 2nd and the balance was supplied by Jeff Johnson
