Welcome to my listing for:
Rock Island Railroad Full 20-Strike Matchbook c1930's-40's
All sticks are present. Strike field is secure on its staple but has bottom right corner loss. Otherwise, showing only minor signs of wear or handling consistent with its age. Colors are vibrant. In good to very good condition.
This pack arrived as part of one of a small number of very large and well cared for lifetime collections. The collectors had the foresight several decades ago to preserve the original look and feel of what are now 50, 60 and in some cases 70+ year old little windows of graphic and cultural history simply by not stripping out the matches. I have sent thousands of these vintage packs into the hands of very happy buyers and have received nothing but compliments and some interesting stories and personal memories connected to the companies represented on the covers.
