match

Small strip of wood or paper, tipped with combustible material for producing fire. Friction matches containing phosphorus were first made in 1816 in France by François Derosne.

A safety match is one in which the oxidizing agent and the combustible body are kept apart, the former being incorporated into the striking surface on the side of the box, the latter into the match. Safety matches were patented by a Swede, J E Lundström in1855. Book matches were invented in the USA in 1892 by Joshua Pusey.
