About the original
Diamond Matches are wooden strike-on-box kitchen matches cut from long-burning aspen splints, tipped with a friction-ignition phosphorus compound, and packaged in cardboard sleeves with a red strike strip along the side; a single box typically holds 75 or 300 matches. Diamond Match Company was founded in 1881 in Barberton, Ohio through a merger of earlier match firms and grew to produce the majority of household matches sold in the United States. Diamond's match line has passed through several owners and is now produced under Newell Brands (formerly Jarden Home Brands) as a grocery-store staple that retails for under a dollar. The SS24 Supreme release is a 75-count box with co-branded packaging.
About Diamond
Diamond is an American match brand traced to a business started in 1853 by Edward Tatnall in Wilmington, Delaware, and consolidated as the Diamond Match Company in 1881 under O. C. Barber. The Cloquet, Minnesota plant produced wooden matches, toothpicks, and clothespins from 1905 until 2017, at one point employing 600 workers and the largest wood-match manufacturer in the United States. Strike On Box kitchen matches use a phosphorus-tipped aspen splint that ignites on the box's red striker strip. The brand was acquired by Royal Oak Enterprises in 2017. Supreme collaborated with Diamond on co-branded Strike On Box Kitchen Matches.
