John Smart Highland County Ohio OH Commissioner Front Strike Matchbook Cover

This vintage matchbook cover comes from a local political campaign for John Smart, a Highland County, Ohio commissioner. County commissioners have long played a central role in Ohio’s local governance—overseeing budgets, roads, public buildings, and essential county services. Smart’s campaign material references the historic Highland County Courthouse, built in 1834 and recognized as one of Ohio’s oldest continuously used courthouses. The courthouse seal printed on the matchbook reflects the county’s deep architectural and civic heritage, tying Smart’s re-election effort to a sense of local continuity and tradition. The matchbook itself was produced by Superior Match Co. of Chicago and features classic mid-century campaign typography in bold brown ink. A distinctive piece of small-town political history from southern Ohio. Good used condition. Comes as shown, see the exact item you will receive in photos.
