Question:
Long story short I have a black box of matches (it's not a matchbook, it's a box of matches) that says "wisdom" in Japanese (supposedly) and on the long side it says "fortune match" and then underneath that it says "Japan". All the matches are used but apparently the previous owner left the fortune inside. Anybody know where these are from or where I can get them (preferably without flying to Japan)?
Answer:
If you google "Phillumeny" ( No, I couldn't find it in my dictionary either ) it will take you to a matchbox collectors site. They may have info on your matchbox.
Good luck.
Hi James, Try matchboxes.net/8.html. It includes an e-mail address.
"Phillumenist" a collector of match boxes and labels.
Addition; Sorry James, Google " Phillumenist " not " Phillumeny "
