GypsyFaith Matchbook Company produces high-quality images of vintage matchbooks.  Those images are laminated and attached to a strong vinyl magnet.  Our goal is to provide a high-quality product at a reasonable price.

One winter afternoon in the attic of my husband's grandmother's house I found a little dusty box labeled "matches". I opened it and out spilled 1000 matchbooks.  I was immediately enchanted.  They were exquisitely beautiful and emotionally compelling, especially when viewed as a collection.  Since then we have been collecting matchbook collections that are at least fifty years old.  This matchbook is from our new collection, a set of 500 matchbooks that belonged to a little boy who entered the collection in a hobby fair sponsored by the rotary club and won first prize with them.  Many of his matchbooks may be the only surviving covers from the 1930's, one-of-a-kind.  I gasped with delight when I first beheld them, and every day they just seem prettier to me.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 

To build our products, which are custom made when you order, we take a high resolution photograph of the matchbook, especially trying to reveal its "oldness". (The image you see here is exactly the image we laminate to make your magnet.) After we laminate each photograph, we affix the image to a magnet. Our joy is to make a high quality, spiritually vested product. We use a very expensive magnet, twice the thickness of the average business card magnet - 60 mil thick - strong enough to hold many items onto your refrigerator; you can feel the satisfying slap of it when the magnet senses the metal. So our artwork is useful, not just beautiful.
