I'm a designer and writer, interesting in old things and history. Recently I'm writing a book about old Hong Kong matches box. And I can see the collection of Moddsey can fill up lost of loosing gap of matches history of Hong Kong, just want to ask is it possible to borrow those matches as part of my book and with my interview of the owner. (given credit of the owner of course). Or willing to sell those collection in a price that I can afford also an option. Thanks.

As I understand,  'the collection' is no longer in Hong Kong and not for sale. The owner does not wish to partake in an interview. Thank you for your interest.

Hi,

I have just found a collection of bookmatches and labels form 60/70/s Hong Kong. I am just in the process of photographing them. You are very welcome  to use them.

We'd love to see your photos here too, if that's possible.

Here's how to upload a photo to the site: https://gwulo.com/node/2076
