Penley Match Co. of Maine. The matches are made in India. Bought them at the local Kroger, which means I can return them up to six months with no problem at all. Hardly worth doing, though, except that I'm sure other people have found the same problem, or will. I sure don't want to be without any in case of power outage. It's been hella windy weather.
