A great group of matches came out of Leon and Edies in Reno in the 1950's. It was a lounge, and TGT indicates they were denied a gaming licence in the 1960's so must have just had a few slot machines. The address seems to put them where Harrahs is now.
The green version of the bar scene seems to be printed on green paper instead of white, and it has no printing inside as the red one does.
I just got the green one on the left in the second image. Does anyone have others from Leon and Eddies in Reno? They were open a long time and liked unusual matches so I suspect there are.
