  5. Amazing and amusing!
    Who wants to see some more, can take a look here http://www.graphicfront.ro/en/print/packaging/romanian-matches/1/437.html for Romanian or several other matchbok labels, same period 1950..70-80.
    We encountered a person who has a huge collection with hundreds of such labels. Incredible. (some of which can be seen on the mentioned website)
