for sale Old FrontStriker Matchbook, Wort Hotel, WY

I got a few of these on eBay recently. It's an old hotel in Jackson, Wyoming. I visited it and had lunch in the Silver Dollar Bar when I was at the nearby National Park a couple of years ago.

According to TGT, they had gaming there from 1941 to 1956. There's quite a little museum there in one of the hallways, showing old photos, and even some of the chips they used there.

The matches were harvested by a match collector who cut the heads off the matches, even on his full books. So this is a full book, no strike marks, but no sulphur heads.

Nice front strike with gambling connection, about 60 years old. Yours for $5 delivered.

I have 8 extras.
