The holder itself is in good condition, but the box shows a lot of wear on the striking surfaces.     The manufacturer of the matches, of which there are none,  is H.E. Gosch & Co.      Other words on the box are 'Tordenskjold' and 'Taendstikker'.    It also has the picture of a 17th. century dandy, looking up into the sky.   Why?    Who knows.    The matchbox itself is of Danish origin.
