Original vintage advertising matchbook from Thompsons Tavern, located in Rock Hall, Maryland.
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 cooled correctly and lists Phone 163, a low local telephone number typical of small Chesapeake Bay towns in the late 1940s to early 1950s.
Produced by Maryland Match Company of Baltimore.
This is an original vintage matchbook, not a reproduction.
