This invention relates to packagesof the paper match-book type, and it has for its object to provide an improved package of this class adapted to receive and c'oncealone. or more small articles on the inside thereof, in such manner that the package when closed will have the appearance of an ordinary match book or folder. Of the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a front elevation showing a package embodying my invention, with the cover flap open. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the hne 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an edge view with the flap closed. Fig.4 is a perspective view showing a mod-' ification. V

Referring at first to the forms shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the package includes a one-p ece paper or light cardboard cover 10 comprlsing a back portion 11 whose lower end 1s turned upwardly in a'short marginal front portion 12 and whose upperportion 13 constitutes a foldable front flap, the terminal edge of which is adapted to be tucked in behind the free edge of the'lower marginal portion 12 in the usual manner as indicated in Fig. 3, when the package is closed.

The inner holder is provided with'rela- V tively narrow, upright side marginal portions 16 showing as separate laminations at their outer edges so as to simulate paper matches. These portions may either be real matches preferably two rows deep, or the tips may be colored as at 17 to imitate match heads, and

the front face of the upturned cover portion 12 may also be colored to imitate a striking V the' form of a flap integrally secilred sit-its 193i. "se ial, n 537,563.
