Antique 1940s HONUS WAGNER CO PITTSBURGH PA SPORTING GOODS LARGE MATCHBOOK
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:5325298 |
Here is a rare Honus Wagner Co. Sporting Goods Store "Giant Feature Match Book" advertising PITTSBURGH'S GREATEST SPORTS STORE at 813 LIBERTY AVE. & 320 DIAMOND ST.
Measures 4 3/16 " by 3 3/8". This big match book reads like a little book. Every surface is printed with graphics and information about the Sporting Goods Store, Honus Wagner Baseball Record, trade mark graphics, a picture of the old guy himself, etc, etc. As the 12 photos show, there are condition issues but the in...tegrity of the paper is good and strong with overall wear. I believe this match book is from the 1940s but a copyright # behind the matches for "GIANT FEATURE MATCH BOOKS" is 1, 839, 845 - 1, 839, 846, which is 1933.There were originally 22 big matches but 11 remain and cover GOLF, TENNIS, GUNS, FISHING TACKLE, BOWLING and BASEBALL. Check the photos carefully, basically used condition throughout.
Questions always welcome and thanks for looking.
