Vintage Matchbooks for Trade - Collecting Tiki

T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Fri, Dec 12, 2003 8:10 PM A while back I bought a thwack of vintage matchbooks at an antique store - 2 albums full, over 200 if I remember correctly. I paid about 50 bucks US for them. Because most of them are from California, I thought they may be of interest to some of you guys - I would be interested in trading the whole shebang for a Tiki Bob or Chin Tiki mug, however I am open to any trade suggestions! I have the full list of ALL MATCHBOOKS at work (yeah, I had a slow day at the office) so if you want I can send that to you monday. There are no tiki ones, but lots of old great diners, steakhouses, cocktail bars, and other interesting California hotspots nonetheless. Many have the letters in the phone number so I assume they are 50's but some may be 60's. Let me know if you are interested!

I've got a small redwood Bosko that I'm selling for 100 clams. After a little bit of thought......I think I'll pass and withdraw considering The Fabulous Cherry Capri.
