Description

Waldorf Matchbook Vintage c. 1935 To 1942, Unused, Unstruck Fascinating Fun Facts: • This is certainly not the Waldorf-Astoria, but rather a regional cafeteria or diner chain — many small eateries borrowed prestigious names like “Waldorf” to suggest quality. • That red apple motif was often used to signal freshness and cleanliness — a subtle appeal to both health and Americana. • The Ohio Match Co. was based in Wadsworth, OH and was second only to Diamond Match in size — they specialized in stylish “stock matchbook” designs offered to small businesses. • “Clean place to eat” was more than a slogan — it was a way to assure Depression-era customers that an affordable meal didn’t mean sacrificing hygiene or class.
