Dad gave me his cover collection. A well traveled uncle sent them to him from the 30's through the late 40's. At least 600. Bars, gas stations, car dealerships restaurant's etc... Most have had the matches removed. Guess to make them easier to mail (bad I suspect).
I'll pull the ones I like and will try to sell the rest. Pics posted when I get back home.
Suggestion welcome.
Thanks!!
Creighton

No idea what all is there yet. I'll pull all the soda related and let everyone know.
Any other requests just post.
Thanks for the replies!

I have a matchbook collection! A lot still full with matches. They are in the back of my office closet in a tall four-basket type container - the whole thing measures probably 8"Wx24"Dx40"H and has probably close to 10,000 matchbooks or so. I have three Matchbook Collection Books too that were designed to hold matchbooks spread out with matches removed - not sure either if that is accepted matchbook policy, but like you suspect not - oh well!  Mainly from the 60's-80's, but also quite a few older ones in there. |

Very Cool! I especially like the one that says taxation is theft! I would probably give the most for the playboy club covers as I have a nice collection of early Playboy's starting at #2 I sure wish dad would have bought #1.  |

Thanks! Everyone in my family used to bring me matchbooks from their travels, so I acquired quite a few through no effort of my own. I would probably give the most for the playboy club covers.... Kind of a funny story about them. My father had company business in NYC in 1974-5 and took my mother, one of my older brothers and me along for the trip. Around the corner from the hotel was the Playboy club tower with a movie theatre on the first floor. "Blazing Saddles" had just been released and was rated R in Dallas, but only carried a PG rating in New York. My brother asked them if he and I could go to a PG movie next door, to which they said yes. The Playboy matchbooks were in a bowl in the lobby. I picked through and got as many different ones as I could find. Here are a few more pics.... |

Back home, did a quick look see. Bit off on the count, 2000+. Need to catch up on work but did some random pulls. Appears to be some soda brands in the cache. Hope these aren't the only ones :-) Going to take awhile to sort through. Pics below.
Thanks for the laugh Kilroy !! I'll keep an eye out for Ronson as well.
RC, Pepsi DD, and the Dr. Pepper are spoken for. Any dupes turn up will advise. What is a trip is that these are from all over the US. Wish I had known the relative. He must have had some stories to tell.
Pat, the one lower left is on it's way :-)
Keep the requests coming in.

Okay, have most of the sorting done. These are the ones of interest on this board. Any help with possible date of issue would be great.
Matchbook covers don't seem to be worth anything. Thinking I'll just post hi-res scans on a FTP site you can then download and print all you want.
Will let everyone know when that is up and running.
Pic #4 is the closest I'll ever get to owning original top notch petrol items :-)

Polly gas is a very sought after compnay to collect but their matchbooks are very common $2-3.00
Sunset another very sought after company Ive seen the books in the past but no idea on value
Pathfinder uncommon again seen a matchbook in a book but no value given
PDQ Ive seen the logo but never a matchbook.
If they are going to be available let me know
