I am 68 years old just retired. I live in Barcelona (Spain) and I have been a matchbox collector since I was a child.
Nowadays, I dedicate myself to collecting complete sets of matchboxes, skillets and bookmatches from all over the world without advertising.
Currently, I have about 1.500 complete sets from 68 different countries and I have participated in several collectors' club exhibitions. In fact, I have a lot of sets to exchange with worldwide collectors.
I have always been fascinated by Ancient Egypt, which was a civilization originated along the Nile River Valley and was developed over more than 3,500 years. It began around 3200 BC, and is conventionally considered to have ended in 31 BC.
Highlights include impressive monuments such as the pyramids, the Sphinx at Giza, and the Valley of the Kings, all decorated with spectacular, oversized stone statues and brightly colored paintings depicting the pharaohs and their families, as well as their gods.
I've also always been amazed by the treasures found in the tombs of the pharaohs, their mummies, and especially their enjoyable geoglyphic writing. It was used to write on monuments, papyri, and pottery and served primarily decorative or ceremonial purposes. You can enjoy all of these unique wonders in my exhibition.
Many thanks to PHILLONEX (International Phillumenie Online Exhibition) organizers for allowing me to exhibit my sets of Ancient Egypt from several countries and wish you all the best for this exhibition.
