    I love the graphics on these. I bought an entire box for $1 at a yard sale a while back. There were some amazing ones with Vegas casinos but my dad would not be denied:) After he was done rummaging through the box he told me something I would have never known..make sure you look on the inside as well. If you look at some on the left you can see that the actual matches create an additional image. Thought I would share with you. Thank you for looking.

      These are great vintage matchboxes Jennifer! The lucky owner visited the Coco Palms hotel in Kauai where Elvis filmed 'Blue Hawaii' which was torn down & never rebuilt. Wonderful nostalgia here

      Great finds! CW did an article awhile back on feature matches (with the ads printed onto the matches themselves): https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/playing-with-matches/
