Share in a fascinating journey began with a rediscovery of a basement bowl teeming with eye-catching matchbooks and their covers from places visited as a customer and tourist or procured as a collector.
Long-forgotten Wheeling, West Virginia restaurants, bars, banks, factories, other local businesses and personal realia represent a hand-hand history and visual record of the once bustling, vibrant spirit of living in the Upper Ohio Valley.
These unassuming and expendable matchbooks are really historical memory books of individual names and places that are rediscovered, enjoyed, and preserved for your reading pleasure!
