Description: Here are a couple vintage standard-sized matchbook covers, one green and one black, from the Central Florida Motel, located on U.S. Hwy. 17, 92, and 27A, in Haines City, Florida. Mary P. Harell was apparently the owner or manager. The place was "Open Year-Round For Tourists and Commercial Travelers, Modern in Every Respect". It was Air Conditioned with Ceil. Heat and Optional TV, with a Restaurant. The phone number is given in the old style as "HA 2-4855".
There's no printing on the inside.
Produced by The Diamond Match Co., Springfield, Mass.
Actual Size: approx. 2" x 1.5" (closed)
Date: Not dated, but the old-style phone number probably puts them in the 1950s, or perhaps early 1960s
Condition: Just fair, I'd say. Both covers are only lightly soiled but both have had the striker strip torn off. There's also an additional set of staple holes that pass through both sides of the covers. (Please see scans.)
