Nice Richard, the variations are what makes the collection. LV Club, one of my favorite Fremont facades and one of my favorite sets of match-covers. Considering the covers are only 2x4 1/2 inches they are incredibly detailed and the ink colors, still so vivid some 65+ years later is pretty amazing to me. Some more food for thought is that most, I'd say 90% of the matchbooks ever produced were, as intended, were used and thrown in the trash!! Seeing these survivors, like the ashtrays, all these years later is thanks to people like us.
Have a happy year
Eric
