I acquired a lot of matchbooks from my grandfather who starting working for and retired from universal match right after the war. These matchbooks never had any matches in them, they came straight from universal match.
I have about 2000 front strike matchbooks from all over the united states. Many from Las Vegas, and Atlantic City… some topless ones from Myrtle Beach. I can send you a list if you are still collecting. I want to sell them for anywhere between 10 cents to $ per book.
Thanks!

They are from all over the world, are organized in their own see-thru containers, and also include official Presidential matchbooks. They range in date from 1931 to present date. I have them all in a lockable steel cabinet. You name it, I have it. I’m willing to sell the entire thing for $30,000.
