Matchbox

[beau-bc]

Love digging up local history.This matchbox is from Con Jones, a fellow from Austrialia who came to Vancouver in 1900. He opened billiard halls and tobacco shops shortly after arriveing, this box should be between 1900 - 1910.He was also into sports, helped to bring soccer and lacross to Vancouver
