Rare Cub find?

Postby David C » Thu May 04, 2006 8:11 pm

My cousin stopped by the other day and said he found this in a very old tackle box he picked up.
The pictures dont do it justice...
Anybody ever seen one or have one?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

I have never seen one. :shock: I have seen more of the cub pinbacks than I have this matchbook. I would say it is a rare item indeed. :wink:

That is neat... I have one of the

NO TRESPASSING
PROPERTY OF INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO

signs from the fence around the Louisville factory.... I tried to sell it a few RPRUs ago, but nobody was interested, so with all signs and clocks that don't sell on their first trip to RPRU, they just go on the wall of the shop....

Hey David...NICE CUB MATCHBOOK :!: I would say it probably dates from the early 1950's based on the graphics used in the Cub tractor. I'm NOT a matchbook collector, but I DO KNOW these matchbooks are more valuable if they have ALL the matches in them...Does Yours :?: It's still a very nice collectable :wink:

I don't know much about matchbook collecting. But I notice the striker is on the back side rather than the front. I suspect that implys the matchbook is considerably newer that the artwork suggests.

Some matchbook collectors remove the matches (by carefully taking the staple out) and just keep the cover. There is a concern about the safety of collecting the matches and another concern about a chemical from the match head leaching into the paper, messing up the outside appearance. Even among those that remove the matches, an unstruck striker adds to the value.

Regardless of the age or striker location, it is a nice item.
