This web site is for collectors of matchbox labels and associated material. It has no connection with matchbox model cars or any die cast models.
The site has been designed to accommodate the latest browsers and computer systems.   However, it is fully compatible to many earlier
 versions.  Ideally, a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 or greater should be used but resolutions down to 1024 x 768 can be
 accommodated but, usually with a lesser degree of sharpness and a likelihood of both vertical & horizontal scrolling.

West & Midlands Phillumenists

Benefits to Joining

Benefits of Membership:

The West & Midlands Phillumenists magazine The Matchbox is posted free to members four times a year. The Matchbox contains illustrated articles of interest to beginners as well as enabling the experts to discuss the finer points of the hobby. Announcements of all events and reports of meetings in the The Matchbox keep you in touch with the Society and the hobby.

Members outside United Kingdom can receive The Matchbox by air mail for the extra postage.

Only members receive the free world-wide Membership List listing details of the members and their collecting preferences. This allows you to get in touch with other members for exchange of matchbox labels and match covers and correspond about the hobby, where members have indicated a willingness to correspond.

A postal auction is run by the club/society.

New members are listed in The Matchbox to keep the Membership List up-to-date.

The West & Midlands Phillumenists organise events in Derby and Winchcombe to which you are cordially invited. These events attract many visitors from home and abroad. All these events are staged by members, and new members are especially welcome.

The events include an auction for members to buy and sell items for their collection. Visitors are allowed to buy in the auctions but only members may sell. Only members may place proxy bids by post or e-mail.

Dealers are usually present at events to give you the opportunity to increase your collection by sorting through their stocks.

Areas are set aside at events for members to exchange matchbox labels and matchbook covers.

The West & Midlands Phillumenists Approval Service is available to help seekers of "odd" or special labels at fair prices. Labels can be sent to you from which you can make your selections.
