USGI Aviation Match Case

Just got this USGI Aviation Match Case in today. I believe they came in US Aviation survival kits. Holds four match boxes, which came with it. It's supposed to be waterproof, but there's no rubber seal. So I tested it, held it under water for a bit, swished it around and sure enough no water got in. Looks like the top of it has a bevel and fits inside the lid for a friction fit. Pretty cool, enjoy the pics!

Nice. I agree it is a clever design to be watertight without a gasket or o-ring.

I tested a few of the matches, they took quite a few strikes to get them going, one of them I couldn't get to light. I think they are pretty old.
