| Description | Match box with wind screen, World War One |
| Details |
A combined silver match box and wind screen, a novelty but nevertheless extremely useful to men at the front and available from Charles Packer and Co of Regent Street, London. The item was available for one guinea (postage free to expeditionary forces) and, as the Tatler describes, 'smokers will warmly appreciate such a gift, as they well know the difficulties they have to surmount when endeavouring to light a cigar, cigarette or pipe.'
