    Did they come in grey? Mine is a beige colour.

    It's a wooden stick match. I'm not sure if it's a strike anywhere, but if it is, then yes you could light it on that vintage combo coticule.

    Looks like red cloth. Or maybe a photograph.
    Uh-oh.

    I think that might be the ultimate coticule, with an ultimate match, and a piece of the ultimate felt.
    Which - when assembled together, becomes the ultimate photograph and the ultimate illusion, which is then powerful enough to become us and it then forces us to become it.

    The lighter colored tip on the match looks like it's one of the new "strike anywhere" which really aren't.

    The stone looks like marble to me, but I'm EXTREMELY ignorant about rocks :)

    Well I won a match and a piece of 175x40 marble for 35 euros. Hope it's a nice piece of marble cos I don't need a paperweight at the moment. When it arrives I'll post pictures! Fingers crossed its a combo as mentioned in the add on the bay.

    Send it to me I'll verify it for you.
    EXPECT success in every shave and the universe will certainly make way for that success.

    It it's a match or not? I'm pretty sure it is. Will compare the stone to my own coti though.
