My name is Al-Razee Anonnya. I'm much familiar with the name "Robert Burns". I collect matchboxes from. March, 2018. Right now I have around 9000 different matchboxes and over 12000 different matchbox labels. In Bangladesh, there is an international organization for matchbox collectors. "Bangladesh Matchbox Collectors' Club (BMCC)" is it's name. I became a member of the club in 2019 and right now I am working as the Joint General Secretary there. Matchbox was invented by British inventor and chemist John Walker in 1826. John Walker was born on 29 May,1789. This year, in commemoration of his 242th birthday, BMCC has organised a virtual matchbox and labels exhibition. As a tribute to the great inventor, I exhibit some Swedish matchbox labels and Indian matchboxes from my collection. |
