This lot features five vintage Rathkamp Matchcover Society matchbooks, each promoting annual conventions held between 1967 and 1968. The front colors vary, including green, orange, yellow, pink, and white, showcasing a vibrant and collectible variety. Each matchbook advertises specific conventions at notable hotels such as the Sheraton-Cleveland Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Edgewater Inn Marina Hotel in Long Beach, California, highlighting the historical context of these hobbyist gatherings.
Printed by Regal Match Co., Baltimore-Chicago, these matchbooks are made from classic paper materials typical of mid-20th century promotional items. The design includes the Rathkamp Matchcover Society logo, with clear instructions to close the cover before striking, and provides officers' information and contact details on the reverse. These vintage matchbooks are highly collectible for enthusiasts of matchcover memorabilia and those interested in unique advertising history from the late 1960s.
