The above labels are all originally
made in Sweden. They are the so called "Trummer brands", named after Trummers,
the agents for the British Commonwealth for the Swedish Match Co.
When, in 1930, the importation of foreign
matches into Australia was forbidden, Bryant & May commenced negotiations with
the Swedes for the right to produce the Trummer brands and the agreeement was
signed in early 1931.
