Up for sale is....
A very rare vintage match cover for SEABOARD METALS & SUPPLY CO. MATCHBOOK, Los Angeles California....as seen in the photos.
This match book was issued between 1938 and 1946. I have deduced that from the following information:
The small "o" in the manumark indicates this match book was issued between 1938 and 1958:

The first patent date expired in 1946 and the second patent date was issued in 1932, so the patent dates indicate a date between 1932 and 1946.
This match book is a LION "30 STICK" MATCH BOOK and is UNUSED: FULL and UNSTRUCK. Measures 2 x 2 inches when closed.

We do COMBINE SHIPPING and have thousands of great old matchbooks to list--including dozens I am listing today from California. Also, I just listed several great items from a California road trip circa 1965.
