Vintage Matchbook Covers, Lot of 13 – Saskatchewan Hotels & Cafes, RCAF & CFB Military, University of Manitoba, Mac's Milk, 1974 Commonwealth Games

Thirteen Canadian matchbook covers with real range: three military, four small-town Saskatchewan businesses, and one genuine oddity — a 1974 British Commonwealth Games souvenir cover from Christchurch, New Zealand. The military trio leads the lot: CFB Southport at Portage la Prairie, the J&R Ranks Mess at CFB Toronto, and a 3 (F) Wing Royal Canadian Air Force cover from Zweibrücken, Germany. Strong prairie paper for a matchbook or local-history shelf.
