A bit of history:
"Vesta cases were introduced in the
early 19th century following the manufacture of friction 'lucifer' matches
in 1826. Vesta cases are small portable
boxes used to keep matches dry. They
are made from precious and non-
precious metals. The purpose of the
vesta case is also to prevent the
matches from igniting. Usually the base
of the vesta case has a serrated edge,
known as the striker. The vestas
(matches) are dragged across the
striker to ignite them. There are three main types of vesta cases. The most
popular being the portable pocket
vestas. Some pocket vestas have a bale
near the hinge so that they can be
suspended from an chain.
