It is designed for "old-fashioned friction matches" from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. This kind of match head contains complete ignition chemical components, which can be burned directly on the metal friction surface; while modern safety matches need to rely on the red phosphorus friction strip on the side of the box to be ignited, so they cannot be used together. Antique objects have historical wear&tear of use regardless of color and surface.
