This vintage advertisement matchbook features Stan Harris & Company, a prominent vending machine service provider based in Philadelphia, PA. The design showcases charming mid-century illustrations of coin-operated equipment, including a jukebox (Music), a pinball machine, and classic cigarette and candy vending machines. The vibrant blue and white patterned background, coupled with the bold black typography on the strike plate area, captures the essence of 1950s commercial graphic design.
As a unique piece of coin-op and tobacco-related history, this matchbook serves as a fantastic collectible for enthusiasts of Philadelphia business memorabilia or vintage arcade and vending history. The interior reveals original orange-tipped matches, and the cover includes the company's address on Venango Street and Westmoreland Street, along with their vintage telephone exchange numbers. This is an excellent addition to any phillumeny collection or a nostalgic display for a game room or man cave.
