Original vintage advertising matchbook from the Midway Restaurant, located at 212 Market Street in Denton, Maryland.
The front cover features the colorful mid-century pin-up illustration titled Rear Reinforcements, a classic postwar pin-up design used in restaurant and hospitality advertising.
The matchbook promotes private parties and banquets and lists proprietors Joseph Hender Jr. and Andre Quintois, reflecting a mid-20th-century full-service restaurant operation in small-town Maryland.
Produced by Maryland Match Company of Baltimore. The typography and artwork place this matchbook in the late 1940s to early 1950s.
This is an original vintage matchbook, not a reproduction.
