650+ Matchbook Covers 1930's - 1960's

Description

This lot contains 650+ matchbook covers from dating back to the 1960's1960's.
Nearly all are 20 strike size, but I did see a few midgets, 40 strikes and 30 strikes in the box as well.  I also noticed that there are some bobtails (matchcovers without strikers on them) in this lot as well.  Maybe as may as 50, but likely less than that.
Nearly all of these matchbook covers are matchbooks that have had all the matches taken out.  Most are struck, but there are some that are not.  Which is odd - not sure why the matches would be gone (doesn't look like they were cut out) and the striker not struck.  In any event, no matches remain.
These covers come from restaurants, motels, hotels, and other businesses.  Small towns and cities.  There may be some duplication here, but if so, it's not much.  I didn't notice any as I was looking through them, but that just tells me that if there is, it's not significant, or I would have seen it as an issue when going through it.
These have been inside a good sized metal canister for the past 4+ decades, in an attic.  Forgotten about until I purchased this collector's collection.  I ditched the tin for the box in order to cut down on shipping costs.
If you are looking for an enjoyable time sorting through some old time covers, this would be a nice lot for you to pick up.
