I received an unusual item in the mail the other day.

It was from a person with the last name Sellers the lives in England. I lost the address. I just remember the name being P. Seller I think.

I am at a loss to who this is.

I was hoping maybe someone knew of P. Sellers that may post here.

Perhaps this P. Sellers doesn't even post here.

I had to give it a shot since I have no idea where else to start looking for this person.

The items in question are 2 matchbooks from the Pure Oil Company.

Pure Oil, I assume is no longer in business. The particular station that these matchbooks were made for was in Waverly, TN.

I guess P. Sellers collects matchbooks from all over the world.

They the have the company name address and phone numbers on one side.

On the reverse are pinup pictures.

My best guess is that these matchbooks are from the 40's or early 50's.

I would appreciate it if anyone who can shed some light on the value of these matches.

I have no intentions of selling them being that they were giving to me out of an act of genrousity on the part of P. Sellers.

I only started collect casino matchbooks recently. All current ones. These were a nice surprise.
