Before businesses begged you to scan a QR code, they gave you a tiny piece of advertising you could set on fire. Much more exciting.
You’ll receive 15 antique and vintage unstruck matchbooks, hand-picked from my collection with a wide variety of ages, places and designs. No modern matchbooks and no boring handful of nearly identical pieces.
Your assortment may include matchbooks from:
Old hotels & resorts • beachside bars • casinos • supper clubs • restaurants • nightclubs • vintage businesses • safety campaigns • travel destinations • advertising • locations across America and around the world
My collection spans from early antique examples through later vintage pieces, including matchbooks dating to the late 1800s/early 1900s.
Every order is selected for variety—different eras, graphics, businesses, locations and colors. Half the fun is figuring out where these little survivors have been.
Have a color scheme in mind? Tell me! I usually have reds, blues, greens, yellows, browns, blacks, whites, silvers and golds and will happily customize when possible.
Perfect for collectors, junk journals, shadow boxes, historical displays, crafting—or anyone who enjoys owning tiny advertisements for businesses that may have disappeared 70 years ago.
15 unstruck antique/vintage matchbooks. No moderns. Lots of history in a very small package.
