Description:

Ahoy there!

We will swap one large matchbox, in the UK the large matchbox I have holds 240 matches, the match box you choose should be the large size.

We will decorate the matchbox on a pirate theme (think treasure, skull and crossbones, eyepatches etc). You should then fill your matchbox full to busting with the usual matchbox treasure (these might be pirate themed, but they don't HAVE to be).

There are some beautiful examples of matchboxes on flickr - have a look, there's lots of ideas to help you.

The Legalities

We will send one Pirate matchbox to one partner, please include a card with your swap name so that your partner knows who to rate.

This swap is international.

Newbies are welcome as long as you have 5 mailed and rated swaps under your belt, you must have a plumpsome profile too!

Extras are great but not at all necessary.

The swap is open to those with a rating of 4.8 and above.

If you don't intend to send then please don't join.

If you don't intend to send on time then please don't join.

If you don't intend to rate then please don't join.

My primary concern is the swapping experience of everyone in the swap, if I think you don't fit the bill then I won't allow you to join. If you think you have been rated unfairly then please tell me your tale and I will take it into consideration.

I'm not from the UK, could you tell me the measures of those matchboxes?

Marymint 05/17/2010 #

I'll measure it, however; don't get too hung up on the measurements - just try to find a matchbox that holds about 240 ordinary sized matchsticks.

The matchbox I have is 5.5cm wide, 8cm tall and 3cm deep. For those of you in the UK - I bought them from Aldi, they come in a pack of three.
