I have one that belonged to my great-grandfather. It's a round glass thing. Embedded in the middle is an Odd Fellows logo, his name, and a date. My guess is that date is when he joined the lodge. He was a shoemaker. I expect that most of his papers were receipts that got stuck onto one of those spike gizmos.
I recall striking those “strike anywhere” matches on my blue jeans.
Currently in the medicine chest in my hall closet… I got into it when I was a kid and painted everything that pink/orange color. Nothing takes that stuff out!The telegram
Mercury Methialade- I have no idea if I spelled that right. It was an antiseptic that my Mom used to use on particularly bad cuts and such. It stung something awful, but the mercury in it would kill anything. (Probably including me!)
Still have the one that hung in my grandparents' kitchen. They used to light the kerosene stove, I use it to store the matches that I break in half to fix the stripped-out hinge screw holes in the bathroom door.
I’m guessing it either has advertising or it’s decorated with a floral design.
