Object Story
The Matchbook from the 1940s, manufactured by Lion Match Company New York, bears associations with the military and was mass-produced in New York. Acquired through inheritance during the 1940s, it has remained within the family's possession. As of 2022, it has transitioned between Hanford, California, and Murry, Utah, serving as a tangible link to past experiences and historical contexts associated with wartime.
