Before I was born my parents bought several large boxes of matchboxes from a fancy restaurant that was going out of business. (The kind of thing that had been given away at the door and had the name and phone number of the place)

Growing up, the igniter on our gas stove didn't work so we often used several matches per day for years.

I still have several 'rolls' of maybe a dozen matchboxes each and a full unopened box of the rolls. It's going to last me and my family at least my own lifetime. Now they mostly get used for candles.
