We can't help but be jealous of the man who once carried this match safe in his breast pocket! What a time to be watching the Tigers play, with such stars as Sam "Wahoo" Crawford and Ty Cobb on the field (who happen to be the two images at the top left corner). Twenty-four images in all surround scrolled text that brags of American League Championships in 1907 and 1908. Verso is an advertisement for a Detroit brewery. Hinged top works well. Celluloid has no foxing and metal ends have slight wear but no dings or dents. EX+.
