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.
