gwalchmai Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Good point, Rail. I should go through and see if any of them are rare collectors' items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I was just thinking, and we all know how dangerous that is. Do young'uns even understand the words to Jim Croce's Operator? It mentions a matchbook, a telephone call at a public telephone booth for a dime and -- a telephone operator. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 My Uncle Foots used to shake his head and say "Good Grannies Alive" when he'd seen stuff changing. I think I know how he felt. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a client with several of this size and bigger tins. Turns out he collected them from every eatery/drinkery he patronized forever. This one didn't sell so I got it for a song (I chose the Captain America song from the Saturday cartoon)... Law of unintended consequences: the war on cigarettes did a number on the advertising matchbook industry as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
