The exhibit, called “Vintage Matchbook Collectibles”, runs through September in the museum’s special exhibit gallery. Mark was also asked to write an article for the museum’s quarterly newsletter, Sirius. A 5-page article was produced, portions of which should be posted by now on the museum’s website (www.museumofthedog.org).   This is the first exhibit of its kind for the Museum of the Dog, as they presently don’t have any matchbooks, matchcovers, or match-related items in their permanent collection. Mark will generously be donating his duplicate dog-related matches to the museum, and the museum has decided to install a special display case to permanently display them.   Mark’s also having matchbooks printed to promote the exhibit, and he’d be happy to send members a cover or two if they will send me a SASE. The front panel of the cover is shown here.
