- This is a listing
of domestic match manufacturers mainly from the late 1800s to
the present. Rather than filling up the list with obscure manufacturers
whose products the great majority of collectors are never going
to run across, presented here are those they will encounter,
for the most part. For more detailed descriptions of these companies,
see "The
American Match Industry: A Biograph".

- [Note: some
"companies" later became "corporations"]
- [Note2: A few
of these, such as Southern Match Corp., are 'ify' as actual manufacturers
due to lack of info]
- [Note3: There
is some company ovverlapping on the Era divisions]
