I'm trying to get hold of examples of Apollo matchbooks, cigarettes and ashtrays. Preferably with provenance. Thanks.

There may be autographed Dave Scott, Alan Bean, and another Apollo astronaut autographed match book covers coming up soon in the Mike Z sale if you are interested.

I will look. I think I might still have a couple of matchbooks owned by Gene Cernan that I acquired in the early days of astro-auction garage sales.

Chas, I sent you an email several days ago regarding the items you're looking for but haven't heard back. Did you get my email? Do you have any interest in what I offered? Thanks.

I have an Apollo 7 matchbook hand signed by Wally Schirra from his personal collection. I also have an MCC ashtray for sale as well. I will email you photos later if interested or you may call me at 310-892-5150. Lastly I have matches galore. Different styles, different missions.

Just to clarify the above post. A full set of RCA Apollo matchbooks sold for $8.00 on eBay. It includes one white gloss cover matchbook from Apollo 7 through 17 and comes in a plastic case.

In good condition, these are a very nice set, $8.00 is a steal. However, these are not the gold finish embossed matchbooks shown above.

I do not smoke, yet I nearly can smell it going through this posting, ha. Are matchbooks allowed to travel through the USPS mail? Amazing the variations.

The USPS website lists strike anywhere matches as prohibited items. There is no mention of matchbooks so I think they are ok to ship.

All times are CT (US)
