The collectors of matchboxes are called CUMIXAPHILISTS.
If somebody claims to you, that we are philumenists, donīt believed him.
It is someone from philumenists obviously. They collect match labels and skillets and they like to class us between them.
To ensure understanding takes place, I will explain two more things:
1. Skillets are unpacked matchboxes without drawers.
2. Book matches are thin shattering matches. I do not collect them. :-)
Have a look on my collection already...
There were 26 991 matchboxes in my collection from all around the world at the end of 2017. It is still the biggest matchboxes collection in Slovakia. I was awarded for it once upon a time. I got a certificate... :-)
(Slovak record - biggest matchbox collection.)
I will try to add here maximum pictures step by step, but you will agree with me surely, that it is not simple with my amount of matchboxes.
Galleries will arrange by how the matchboxes are sort out in my collection.
I use a philumenistic catalogues to sort out them, some ones are ordered by countries, advertsing matchboxes by size and shapes.
