LEFT: This vesta tin was made by "Bryant & May" in London around 1900 and features a picture of a jumping stag. It is in good condition, works perfectly and originally contained wax vestas.
CENTRE: This match safe has a paper label attached to the hinged lid and was produced by "Bryant & May" primarily as a match safe. The crest bears the motto "My trust is in God alone", which is a paraphrase of the first line of psalm 91. 
RIGHT: This "Spratt's" match striker tin advertises bird seeds and parrot food on the front and dog cakes on the reverse, it has a striker on both ends. It is in good condition with a little very light surface rust.
