About this piece
Vintage novelty birthday card for Dad made to look like a matchbook, with a stapled tan striker-style flap at the bottom. The front reads "Matchless Birthday Wishes for a Matchless Dad" and shows a fluffy puppy with a pink polka-dot bow holding a smoking cigarette holder. It opens to a row of pink-tipped paper matches printed with a punning verse ("to brighten all your troubles... money to burn... up to scratch"), signed "Jo." About 4.1 x 5 inches. Used, with light toning and staining on the back.
A fun crossover piece for greeting card, matchbook and tobacciana collectors.
