Title: Collection of 30 Vintage Advertising Matchbooks – Primarily Unstruck New Old Stock

Description:

Up for auction is a diverse collection of 30 vintage matchbooks featuring classic mid-century advertising. This lot is a fantastic find for "phillumenists" or fans of vintage Americana and retail history.

Highlights of this collection include:

Condition: The majority of these are Un-struck (New Old Stock) with all matches intact.

Brands: Includes iconic names such as Reuben’s Steaks & Seafood, Gold Bond Stamps, Super Valu, Randall Foods, and Osco Drug.

Regional History: Features specific locations like Kandi Mall (Willmar, MN) and Gateway Shopping Center.

Condition Note: While most are in excellent vintage condition, a few show natural signs of age, and a couple have minor wear/damage to the striker plates

These have been stored in a smoke-free environment and would make a great addition to a shadow box, a glass jar display, or a dedicated paper ephemera collection.

Shipping Note: Due to postal regulations regarding matches, this item will be shipped via USPS Ground Advantage with proper safety labeling.
