Absolute Museum Quality & Rarity: 100% Original WWII German Matchbox Master Pack (December 1940)

Up for sale is a once-in-a-lifetime historical find for high-end military and everyday-life collectors.

This is a completely untouched, original master shipping box containing a bulk supply of German wartime matchboxes, manufactured and stamped in December 1940.

Highlights of this historical piece:

100% Authentic & Original: Found safely stored away, completely unissued ("Depotfund / Dachbodenfund").

Freshly Opened by Me After 86 Years: I am the very first person to open the original purple protective paper wrapping since December 1940 to inspect the content.

Pristine Condition (The Bottom 50 Packs): The bottom layer of 50 matchboxes has been carefully uncovered for the first time. Because they were shielded from sunlight and moisture for over 85 years, the condition is absolutely flawless and pristine – just like they left the factory.

Time Capsule Condition: The outer master carton shows beautiful authentic age, vintage stamps, and storage wear, while protecting the historical content perfectly inside.
Investment Grade: Items in this untouched bulk condition are practically non-existent on the open market today. Most were used up during the war or destroyed.

Safe and secure shipping from Germany.

Professional, heavy-duty double-boxing to ensure this artifact arrives at your doorstep in the exact condition as shown.

International shipping managed completely via 's secure shipping program.

Historical Unit – No Separate Sales:

The historical context and the connection between this original master carton and the individual matchboxes inside are of utmost importance to me. This set is a unique time capsule and will only be sold as a single, complete unit. Please do not ask for individual matchboxes or parts of this set; no separate sales under any circumstances. It stays together as it was found.

Note: This item is sold strictly as a historical artifact and collectible for educational and display purposes.

It is also important to me to ensure that this passes into good hands—specifically, those of a collector.
