Original Listing Description

VINTAGE COLLECTION OF 85+ INDIVIDUAL RAILROAD MATCHBOOK COVERS PLUS 100’S OF VARIANTS AND / OR DUPLICATES This is a collection of vintage railroad matchbook covers that someone spent years collecting and putting into plastic sleeves in a 3-ring binder. It was purchased at an estate sale in Pasadena, CA many years ago. There are approximately 85+ distinct covers for various railroads all across the country, several freight lines, a few from Canadian railway lines, and even one from Mexico. In addition to the 85+ Railway Lines in this collection, included are various rail lines from the same railroad company, as well as many duplicates. In all there are over 400 matchbook covers. I have listed the various lines represented below. Thank you for your interest. Please review all photos and feel free to contact me with any questions.
