Weekday Matchbooks By the Ohio Match Company

August 14, 2020November 23, 2022 Kelley 5 comments

How fun is this set of weekday matchbooks by the Ohio Match Company? The set was created in 1972 and each day of the week is set in a different typeface. My favorite one is Sunday, which is set in Gill Kayo, and I also love Friday. Here’s the rest of the set…

Which one is your favorite? I’d love to frame the whole set and hang it in a gallery wall.

PS. Pretty matchboxes and cute reusable tote bags.

    Tuesday is my fave!

    I inherited my grandfathers matchbook collection… so many gems – especially from Hawaii and Panama…. I need to find a clever way to display them!

      What a fun collection to receive from your grandfather, Meg! I’d love to see them on display someday!

    Awwww I wish you would’ve shown the backs as well because they each had a funny little word or slogan that is associated with that day of the week. I remember a couple of them; Sunday/never on, Monday/Blue, Friday /TGIF Saturday/bath day

      Oh, that’s so cool!! I didn’t know about the sayings on the back. I wish I could find a set to buy — they’re so fun!
