about 2 years agoI don't have it any more but as a kid I used to pilfer the old Joe Cool Camel matchbooks from my dad. My favorite one said on the outside "Camel Tip #11: Never hit a man with glasses." And inside: "Hit him with something larger and heavier instead."

about 2 years agoNotice that with the older match books the matches were struck on the FRONT of the book. That was back when kids didn't need any of this sissy safety-proofing, and we burned our fingers and we LIKED it!

about 2 years agoI have a huge box of cool matchbooks. I used to collect them when I was a kid. Nobody seems to give them away anymore. For sure, nobody brands their logo with them anymore. Here is my collection of local ones. Some of these businesses are still around, but they sure are not making their own matchbooks anymore.
