Original vintage advertising matchbook from a Rock Hall, Maryland business operated by Mrs. M. E. Coleman.
The front cover features the colorful mid-century pin-up illustration titled Showing Form, a golf-themed pin-up design commonly used in postwar American advertising.
The matchbook advertises beer and ice and includes the slogan A Phone Call Will Bring It, reflecting local delivery-style service in mid-century Chesapeake Bay towns. The low Phone 60 listing is characteristic of small communities in the late 1940s to early 1950s.
Produced by Maryland Match Company of Baltimore.
This is an original vintage matchbook, not a reproduction.
