Re: Finnish metal matchbox
Thanks Franz Repper and Kaly for replying to this thread.
I think Kala is right about this coat of arms belonging to the city of Gothenburg.
This forum really has members with sharp eyes and minds.
The matchbox is swedish and I should be able to find the maker if I find a good site interpreting the stamps in the bottom of the box.
Best regards
Laplander
