Marbles Waterproof Stainless Steel Match Safe

The Marbles Match Safe is 2.63 inches of waterproof stainless steel, reproduced from an original 1900 patent.

Matches are useless wet, and that is the whole reason a match safe exists. A sealed metal tube keeps them dry through rain, a river crossing or a soaked pack, which is when a fire matters most. The design dates to a 1900 patent and has not needed changing, because the problem has not changed either.

Stainless will not rust shut the way a plated steel tube can after years in a pack, and the seal is the part that has to keep working. At 2.63 inches it takes standard matches and fits a pocket, a survival tin or a lanyard. Matches are not included. Explore more camp accessories.
