Vintage Everdry Metal Match Safe, Park Sherman Co., Springfield, Illinois

Vintage Everdry metal match safe manufactured by Park Sherman Co. of Springfield, Illinois. This pocket sized waterproof match holder features a knurled aluminum body with a hinged screw cap designed to help protect matches from moisture during camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, and travel. The base is marked “Park Sherman Co. Everdry Springfield, Ill.” The exterior striker surface shows noticeable wear from use and age. The threaded cap opens and closes properly, and the hinged retainer keeps the cap attached to the body to prevent loss in the field. This example shows honest age and use, with surface scratches, oxidation, and wear consistent with decades of service. An excellent addition to a collection of vintage camping gear, outdoor equipment, advertising items, or everyday carry accessories.
