NOVAK'S TOWNE TERRACE Restaurant
Brookline, Massachusetts
1950s(?)
Vintage Matchbook Cover
| Description: |
Here's
a nice vintage standard-sized matchbook cover
from Novak's Towne Terrace restaurant, located on
Beacon Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. It
claimed to have "Superb Food" and
"COCKTAILS". The phone number was given
in the old style as "LO. 6-3469". On the inside it states
that "The Restaurant of Distinction"
had "Party Facilities" and a
"COCKTAIL LOUNGE".
Produced by The
Diamond Match Co., Springfield, Mass.

| Actual Size: |
approx.
2" x 1.5" (closed) |
| Date: |
Not
dated, but the style of the phone number probably
places it in the 1950s, or perhaps early 1960s. |
| Condition: |
Good,
I'd say. The cover is lightly soiled and the
striker strip appears to show some use. There's
also noticeable damage to the striker strip area,
likely from rough removal of the staple that held
the matches, along with an additional set of
staple holes which pass through the striker strip
and both sides of the cover. (Please see scans.) |
