Matchbox
Die-cast toy vehicles
A matchbox is a small container for holding matches, typically a cardboard sleeve with a striking surface on the side.
The diminutive size makes matchbox a common modifier for tiny things: a matchbox apartment, matchbox cars.
Matchbox is also a brand of die-cast toy vehicles, which has made Matchbox car nearly generic for small toy cars.
