I’ll be cohosting another tour with SF Neon on March 4. We visit sites in the Union Square neighborhood and connect their signs and matchbooks to #SanFrancisco’s nightlife history. Just a few tickets left! https://sfneon.org/

A step out of our comfort zone here.
A true Unique Automotive adventure.

First time collecting matchbooks, but I saw a few Unique Automotive related matchbooks brought the bag, figured I’d try.

Only a couple of Auto or Transportation related books, but also a few Funeral Home ads. Not as many as I’d like, but not a complete strike out. I’d do it again.

Enjoy!

Matchbook Collection 2, Valley Relics Museum, Van Nuys, California

We finally made it over to the Valley Relics Museum (https://valleyrelicsmuseum.org/), even though it is just “up the street” from where we live. There were a lot of great artifacts including a huge neon sign collection. Check it out when you are at a loss for something to do in the San Fernando Valley.
