Cool. Similar to this kinda. I’ve not seen many others like these. Wondering what all he has out there. Great thread here.

Just picked up the last Mantle Country Cookin' matchbook that I need. At least until Ben finds another variation.

Very cool pickup Mike! Congrats.
Now you need to collect variations with different numbers of matches used from the book. Haha

Thanks Ben. As to your suggestion, very interesting idea. Although I may be crazy, I haven't reached that level ... yet.

But speaking of crazy, the other day I was going through my stuff looking for something and I found a package with auction winnings from Dec. 2021 and found the following Type I photos. They're not in the best of shape, but pretty neat anyway.

Fake bottle caps for sell… be careful out there friends. Seller does list as “non factory collectible” at least.

Very cool souvenir book, Clint. I've seen a couple of those in auctions, I just haven't been top bidder. Congratulations!
