Burning Matches Art

Storm matches, also known as lifeboat matches or flare matches, have an easy-to-strike tip similar to a normal match, but much of the stick is coated with a combustible compound which will keep burning even in a strong wind. They have a wax coating to make them waterproof, making them a component of many survival kits. This match was used in the first mass-produced Molotov cocktails.
Matchbooks and matchboxes
The development of a specialized "matchbook" with both matches and a striking surface occurred in the 1890s with the American Joshua Pusey, who sold his patent to the Diamond Match Company. The Diamond Match Company was later bought by Bryant and May.
