This is a British made celluloid & tin plate matchbox cover or grip, dating to the end of the World War Two period, around 1944 - 1945.

The front of the holder has three oval 'photographs' of ROOSEVELT, CHURCHILL, & STALIN, with their names printed underneath.

The spine reads "Our Deepest Gratitude and Admiration to the Allies who stood United in Defeating the Greatest Tyrant in History". One edge of the spine reads 'BRITISH MADE' & the other end 'COPYRIGHT'.

The reverse of the holder has a colour pictorial of the three Allies flags of UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN, & RUSSIA.

This holder, with the Allies flags in colour, is the most uncommon of the 'Allied Leaders' match box holders.

Condition is Good. There is light spots of foxing to the edges & a small scorch mark (just above Roosevelt). The interior is very clean, with only light surface rust to the interior edges - Please see magnified photos.

The holder measures approx 2 1/4" x 1 1/2" x 1" (approx 5.7cm x 4cm x 2.5cm).
