Description:
Original vintage Scandinavian matchbook sleeve advertising SATEKO, a manufacturer of industrial saws and cutting equipment, represented in Scandinavia by AB Sågteknik of Nyköping, Sweden.

The reverse lists Finnish offices and services covering sawmill machinery, woodworking machines, drying equipment, and chip extraction systems. A solid example of post-war Nordic industrial design, aimed at forestry, mills, and heavy industry rather than consumers.

Functional, no-nonsense typography with strong mid-century industrial aesthetics. A great crossover piece for collectors of industrial ephemera, Scandinavian design, forestry history, or vintage machinery advertising.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Light handling wear only. Clean folds, no tears. Strong print and colour throughout.
