The Matchbox

Location:
The UFO Team thought it would have a bit of fun by stepping forward in time a bit to share one of those odd treasures that, well, that just makes us laugh. We're not sure why, but it does.

Description:
A box of matches (no, we didn't count them). One side has a mini-ad for the movie 48 Hours. The other side has The Lords of Discipline. Keep in mind that this was back in the day when movies had ads for beer in the previews.

Unique Marks:
None really, but it looks like it was used.

History:
Who knows. Probably someone wanted to smoke something and need a match.

Note:
The UFO Team recommends you watch the movies, not smoke cigarettes.
