This has to be one of the earliest of the Bank Club, Reno matches. Midgets are about an inch wide and have only 14 matches. This one is printed red on 'gold' (which is really bronze power dusted onto the wet ink) and it has weathered pretty dark.
There must be front-strike midgets from other Nevada casinos, but the only two I can think of are Sands, Reno and several designs from Fortune Club, Reno. Anybody have one from Las Vegas?
