My Lakeside Inn Collection

Here's the nine examples that I have from the, now sadly closed Lakeside Inn. This is a good opportunity for me to express to other matchbook collectors to really take a close look at your duplicates or new additions to your collections. They may appear to be the same at first glance yet note the differences with the manu-marks, safety warnings, font sizes, etc..

These 1st two show different manu-marks and safety warnings as well as a larger font and logo in the interior.

These next two again have different manu-marks and different style safety warnings but also note the left cover shows 123 rooms and the right 124. Not sure what the casino did to add that one room!??!?

Next up is the 10th Anniversary cover unique unto itself and to the right we now have a new slogan on the front "Always friendly, Always Fun, Always" as well as the change of the area code from 702 to 775 as well as the addition of the website to the interior bullet points.

The next two again are noticeably different with the right having the oval logo and both have blue ink on the interiors.

Lastly this 30 strike cover is what I believe to be the original book of matches issued by the Lakeside Inn as it reads THE Lakeside Inn unlike any of the preceding covers. Well that's my 2 cents for the day. Buenos Noches, Eric
