What is red head matches?

Redhead matches are a type of strike-anywhere match that are known for their distinctive red heads. The red head is made of a mixture of chemicals, including sulphur, phosphorus, and potassium chlorate, which ignite when struck against a rough surface.

Redhead matches were first invented by Paschal Conroy in the late 1800s and quickly became popular due to their ease of use and portability. They were used by soldiers during both World Wars and remain a popular item among campers and hikers today.

Redhead matches are sometimes called safety matches because they are less likely to accidentally ignite than other types of matches. However, they should still be used with caution and kept away from flammable materials.

It is important to note that red head matches are considered hazardous materials and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. They should also be disposed of properly and not thrown away in the regular trash.
