Dare to say Rare? The original Dunes, Las Vegas

Another installment of NCR gems from the Silver State. Three examples of a fairly common 4 suit "stock design" produced by the Ohio Match Co. of Wadsworth, Ohio.

Chips from this Boulder Hwy. club are featured on the chipguide. http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=nvlvd4
We'll assume the chips are rare, as are any other items from this club, including this matchcover. I've had this cover for some time and have not seen another. c. 1939-1945

Next, a fine salemens sample from the Overland Hotel in Elko, c. 1951. The cover has not been folded or stapled and pulled from the production run as a sample. To the right another scarce cover from the Town Hall Club in Tonopah. This club was open for roughly 1 year, c. 1948-1949, so really how many can be out there??? especially 65 years later!! That's all for now folks!

Happy Holidays!!!
