Matchbox (1973)
Robert Plant, #61 (Malaysia)

A rare Malaysian pop-culture matchbox from the 1970s. Manufactured under the Pelangi brand by P.T. Djamico, this highly collectible series featured miniature, billboard-style matchboxes printed with images of popular pop-culture icons, musicians, and artists of the era.

This example is #61 and features Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant.

Due to the rarity of these matchboxes, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact production date. We know the series was manufactured during the 1970s, but no specific year has been confirmed. We are therefore placing this example in 1973 as an approximate date for cataloging purposes only.
