COMMUNITY ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION - Chicago, Illinois - Vintage Matchbook Cover
Description: Here's a nice vintage standard-sized matchbook cover from Commercial Acceptance Corporation, a commercial bank located on Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The telephone number is shown in the old style as "WEbster 9-3555".
The inside quotes the company's services, including "LOANS 825.00 and UP!", "Automobile Refinancing", "More Cash Advanced", and "Business Loans -- All Types". It encourages customers to "Consolidate your Debts, Financing-Refinancing".
Produced by Universal Match Corp., Chicago and St. Louis
Actual Size: approx. 2" x 1.5" (closed)
Date: Not dated, but that old-style phone number probably puts it in the 1950s (or perhaps early 1960s)
Condition: Good, I'd say. The cover is only lightly soiled and the striker strip doesn't appear to show any evidence of actual use. However, the striker strip does have a bit of damage due to the removal of the staple that held the matches. There's also an additional pinhole which passes through the striker strip and both sides of the cover. (Please see scans.)
**NOTE**: Shipping charges are discounted when more than one of my items are purchased at the same time. See what else I have to offer!
