Vintage Matchbook Covers Restaurants Motels Lot of 95 Bars Hunt's 1950s-60s

Free matches were once the best advertising a roadside motel, supper club or neighborhood tavern could hand out, and these little covers are a pocket-sized look at that mid-century dining and travel world. This collection of about 95 advertising matchbook covers is mostly from the 1950s and 1960s, with many from New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York and Texas and a few from other states. You will find Blue Swan Inn, Johnny's Tropical Steak House, Larison's Turkey Farm Inn, Minuteman, Red Lobster, Sheraton Motor Inns, Manger Hotels, a tiki-style Miami Beach cover, a Route 66 Broncho Lodge cover from Amarillo, Texas, and some foil-finish covers.
