These classic 30 strikes from Miami would be right at home lighting a cigarette in the hands of early 1960's Mad Men execs fresh from a tropical vacation.
The Sea Breeze cover is a nice design and does well using only green and a few spots of blue. My favorite part of this cover is the blue ocean waves with white text inside stating "on the ocean".
The 30 Stick Lion Match for the Park Avenue Restaurant seems a little older, and the colors are very Miami-ish. A postcard from the World Famous Park Avenue Restaurant, shown below, looks like quite the snazzy place the grab a bite by the beach.
This cover for Pure-Pak Cartons is interesting in that it's not selling anything to the average consumer, instead advertising for the most likely new technology of using wax lined, paper milk cartons.
I've been collecting covers with old signs on them advertising for all sorts of things, and in this case, motels.
Two beautiful examples of 30 strike covers for the city of San Francisco and the Putnam & Thurston's restaurant.
A 21 Feature cover that's essentially the same size as a 30 strike, advertises a new way to ship eggs, in the Kys Padflat egg packing container. Great colors and nice graphics.
A 30 strike cover for White King Foam Action Cleanser fits nicely into my collection of product items.
Another 21 Feature cover (essentially the same size as a 30 strike) advertises the Fairways.
I was thrilled to find a cover for this older local motel in Northern Virginia. Along route 50 and route 29 in Fairfax there are two older motels, the Anchorage Motel being one of them. It has somewhat of a dubious reputation nowadays, but nonetheless, it's a nice cover commemorating one of the few (nautical) themed motels left in the area.
Careful kids! A google image search for the Anchorage Motel does return some Not Safe For Work images.
