Interesting collection of matchbook covers mostly baseball some related to the 1939 baseball centennial celebration. Included in the collection are: 1) 1939 Philadelphia Athletics: somewhat worn with significant creasing at the folds and a well-used strike; 2) 1941 Philadelphia Athletics: Very similar to the 1939 version with some minor changes to colors and accents VG condition with wear at the folds and strike; 3) Brooklyn Dodgers (2): Two examples with the strike having been removed from both; 4) 1939 Baseball Centennial: from the Ben Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia with a pre-printed greeting to the Cincinnati Reds G condition with some minor writing and wear at the folds; 5) Kren Bats Baseball Centennial: Interesting matchbook cover advertising this upstate New York company that specialized in hand-turned custom bats poor condition but still presentable; 6) New York Jets/Shea Stadium: GOOD condition with some wear and mild staining. 7 matchbook covers total.
