Tucked Away!!

by Annette
(Isabella, Mo.)

I bought a box at the auction the other day full of 1950's thru 1970's different & unusual items. Tucked under the flap was about 7 matchbook covers in plastic sleeves!!! Not a collector but thought they were way cool. Since I have no use for them I putting them up for sale, So someone who does collect them can enjoy them.

I started collecting matchbooks in the 80's and into the 90's. Recently I uncovered my collection and have been posting them daily at http://www/kccause.com
Have a look, you may find something interesting.

Love those auctions! You never know what you may end up with!

We noticed something here...Your "special" find may appeal to more than one collector.

Matchbook collectors and Military collectors.

Defense Bonds (ephemera) and the like, are collected by many.

We are not experts in this area, but based on your photo's, (and the subject matter), your matchbooks are probably 60-70 years old.

They appear to be in good shape. Surely, someone would like those to add to their collection.

Good Luck and thanks for sharing your story!
