Strike Plate for Safety Matches?

It only took 15 years to get a response. The internet sure speeds things along.

Has anyone heard from Charlie? He used to be very active here years ago. I miss JOAT too, he had some interesting perspectives on life.

I thought someone must have figured this out..... saw a nice idea on another site, used a canning type jar for the matches the circular part holding a piece of sand paper in place and easily replaceable... nice for those of us in humid areas too, paper holders don't keep wooden matches dry...
