Rare collectible series of Belgian matchboxes mainly from the 1960s. The first matches of this series were released in the late 50s and the last ones in the early 70s.
The first ones released were wooden, while those released in the 70s were paper. They also differed in the number of matches they contained. The original version had 30 matches, while later versions had more matches.
This series was called “Flags of the Nations” and a common feature was the scene on the left side of the front representation of the matchboxes.
The private collection of the “Matchbox Museum” https://matchesmuseum.com/el/archiki/ has matchboxes of the first and the older edition.
