<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bookahtoo, post: 9800628, member: 31&quot;]There was a box stuff from William H. Colgate, VP of Diamond Match Co. and a prolific match cover designer,&nbsp; in the haul my son got that I&#039;m still looking at stuff from. The box contained hundreds of matchbook covers, salesman&#039;s samples of covers, a handmade sample book, letters, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I spent a ridiculous amount of time sorting and trying to learn a little about the covers, etc., before I finally went on a collectors site to ask some questions. I didn&#039;t even get to ask, because one of the first things I learned on the home page is that collectors don&#039;t collect samples, or flats of matchbook covers, which is 85 % of what was in the box. It&#039;s too bad, because the sample covers and flats are very cool and sharp looking.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There were two of these hand done ad/sales proposals, this one done for Safeway Stores, and the other for Kroger Grocery &amp; Baking. I believe they were done by W. Colgate himself, which may or may not add to their value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, what do you call this? A proposal? A targeted ad? A mock up of either one of those? Something else?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I have seen no indication that Match Cover collectors even collect items related to their main collecting interest. So are they worth listing???&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]486463[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]486467[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]486464[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]486465[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]486466[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
