Description: Here's a nice vintage standard-sized matchbook cover from Macy's Coffee Shop, a restaurant located in the Willoughby Towers on Madison Avenue in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The place was "AIR CONDITIONED" and was open for "BREAKFAST, LUNCHEON, COFFEE BREAKS". It offered "Take Out Service" at "CONSIDERATE PRICES".. The phone number is shown in the old style as "STate 2-5916".
There's no printing on the inside.
Produced by Match Corp. of America, Chicago
Actual Size: approx. 2" x 1.5" (closed)
Date: Not dated, but that old-style phone number probably puts it in the 1950s (or perhaps early 1960s)
Condition: Good, I'd say. The cover is only lightly soiled but most of the orange background on the front appears to be slightly faded. The striker strip area has some damage from the rough removal of the staple that held the matches. There's also an additional set of staple holes which pass through the striker strip and both sides of the cover. (Please see scans.)
