Strike at the Seat of Trouble on eBay


We've all seen the famous Hitler spot striker matchcover where you can strike at the seat of trouble by striking a match on the seat of Hitler's pants, but this lot of them, including the original box came up on eBay recently. There's ten full books, features I might add, and the seller is asking $1500 for. That's $150 a piece by my math. According to the box itself, it was shipped with only ten full books (10 match packs, 150 laughs).

The two things I find interesting in this auction is 1) The box they were shipped in is included, which I have never seen and 2) These matchbooks were features, each match bearing the image of a bomb.

I have this cover in my WW II patriotics collection, but never realized that it was a feature.
