Knott’s Berry Farm Buena Park, CA. Matchbook

As a kid growing up in Missouri I had lots of time to visit my grandparents. My grandfather was a cigar smoker and he collected matchbooks from the places he and my grandmother would visit. I remember seeing his matchbook collection in a glass case. When they both passed I ended up with his collection. Most of the matchbooks are from hotel casinos in Las Vegas and Reno. These are old school casinos. Some which were demolished to make room for new casinos. Some of the matchbooks are from restaurants or gas stations back in his day.
