1950s Beaver Construction Spot Strike Matchcover-Quebec (>^,,^<) (>^,,^<) (>^,,^<) (>^,,^<) (>^,,^<) (>^,,^<) (>^,,^<) (>^,,^<) (>^,,^<) (spot91) This Spot Striker matchcover is from the Beaver Construction Company on Clanranald in Montreal, Que (CN). Nice graphic of a beaver on the back with the striker as his tail. The inside (last image) explains what they do. [From the AMCC WebSite: Spot or Odd Striker - A matchcover category whose advertisement includes an unusually shaped and/or placed striker zone, frequently incorporated into the message on the matchcover. This was also a trademark used by the Lion Match Co., which made these matchcovers between 1942 and 1962. Over 470 different varieties have been reported.] This matchcover is NEAR MINT & UNSTRUCK with the matches removed. You are viewing both sides and a detail of the ONE matchcover in this sale. Difficult to date exactly, but probably from the 1950s. Need Custom Printed Match Books (click here)? Images are approximate and are reduced in proportion. Monitor color may vary.

One Further Note: (For matchcover sales) We do not remove the matches from these older matchcovers. Through the years, the tradition in the hobby has been to collect mostly matchcovers rather than full match books. This was probably due to their ease of storing, mailing and display. When a full match book survives the test of time, it is listed as a full match book with the matches retained. Click here for hints on how to search Matchcover Connection. Check it out, today! IMPORTANT: (As of 12/01/02) North Carolina Residents must add 7% to the winning sale price. (please look at our rules and privacy policy) |
