Oshkosh Matches #2 Diamond Match Co.

Not a matchbook but probably of interest to the matchbook collecting hobby as it is likely quite an early Diamond Match Company product box.
Nice old turn of century match box is 3 3/4" x 2 5/8" x 5/8". Close date anyone ? Curious why they were brand labeled as Oshkosh Matches. To compete with other Oshkosh matches or to retain an Oshkosh Match companies customer base after a buy out ? Minnie Austin is the old fountain pen script style typical of the Victorian era on the back.
