FOUND! 1928 Oldsmobile Cover Letter Presenting Their Match Book Co-operative Dealership Advertising Program
In addition to being the President of TheMatchGroup, Joseph Danon has been a avid collector of vintage advertising Match books -amassing a collection comprised of tens of 1,000's of vintage advertising match books dating back over 100 years!
Well, while sifting through his collection, Mr, Danon found this well preserved Oldsmobile Motor Works Advertising Dept. Cover Letter dated March 12, 1928.
The purpose of the letter was to present a novel & low lost Match book advertising co-operative promotional program to be offered all Oldsmobile dealerships for them to participate by reserving the back of the match cover for them to advertise their dealership's name, address, telephone advertising copy under the OLDSMOBLE LOGO between the space above the tag line "A Match for Any Car". Depicted on the front cover was an eye catching full color illustration of a new Oldsmobile model for 1928 with the slogan "The FINE CAR OF LOW PRICE"l Match book.
The cost for the dealer to participate in this co-operative advertising program was the princely sum of .00415 per match book! To underscore the effectiveness of this co-operative advertising program, Oldsmobile as well as the majority of other car manufactures continued to offer this very effective and low cost advertising program to their dealerships up until the late 1980's!
Fast forward 87 years later and TheMatchGroup continues this produce similar co-operative advertising match programs by partnering with many national/international brands such as Davidoff of Geneva, Drew Estate and General Cigar as well as many larger Candle Manufactures using their branded match books and match boxes as means to share the cost of and advertise co-operatively with their retail outlets!

Led Zeppelin's Starship One Jet's Match Boxes Sell for $700 on the History Channel's Pawn Stars TV Show!

Pawn Stars Starship One Matchboxes
By Drew Koch , Mikah SargentWe bet you'll never guess what was valued at as much as $3,000 on a recent episode of "Pawn Stars..."
Matchboxes. Wait, what?!
But wait, these weren’t just any old matchboxes — they were from Led Zeppelin’s legendary Boeing 720 plane, The Starship One. (Video via YouTube / Thanasis Papadimitrou)
"If you framed them up and presented them well, $2,500 to $3,000 dollars for these," said Warwick on "Pawn Stars.""$2,500 might seem like a lot for some matches, but rock and roll collectors would go crazy for this stuff."
After an expert [in paper ephemera] examined the matchboxes, they were deemed authentic.
And if that wasn't cool enough, each box included The Starship One's logo and the names of several important passengers it carried over the years, including Elton John, Peter Frampton and Alice Cooper. Rock on.
There's actually a huge demand for vintage matches, matchbooks, and the matches themselves in the collection world. In fact, there's thousands of active listings for them on eBay.
But the seller of The Starship One matchboxes only needed to go as far as the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop to find a price he was happy with.
He ended up selling the collection for a cool $700. Now, that's aplane good deal!
