Original vintage promotional matchbook sleeve advertising Haig Scotch Whisky, produced for the Finnish market. These sleeves were issued as advertising pieces rather than souvenirs and were commonly distributed without matches for display or promotional use.

The design features Haig’s instantly recognisable red-and-white branding, with classic slogans including “No finer whisky goes into any bottle” and “The oldest name in Scotch”. Produced by Mainostikku Hamina, this example reflects mid-20th-century alcohol advertising aimed at Nordic bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues.

A strong crossover piece appealing to whisky collectors, spirits advertising enthusiasts, and mid-century graphic design collectors alike. Clean, bold, and highly recognisable, this is exactly the sort of branded ephemera that displays well and holds steady interest.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Unused promotional sleeve with strong colour and clear print. Light surface wear only, consistent with age. No tears or structural damage.
