I found this in a purse I bought at a flea market. It was hidden away in a rip in the lining.
It is a neat little matchbox, still with the original green-headed wooden matches, and in the rectangle on the left of the word "safety" it says "made in" and in the one on the right of the word "matches" it says "USSR"
