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
