Jewelite & 20 strike match covers
In Response To: Old Vegas Photo of the Day ()

"Jewelite" is a style of matchbook, as indicated on the inside (second match cover image).
"20 Strike" is a matchbook that holds 20 matches, usually two rows of 10 matches.
Both are "Front Strike", meaning the striker is on the front.
The US Federal government outlawed front strike matchbooks in 1965 and match companies had 10 years to abide.
