Great lighters and cans Rex. I like the Vacuum one the best. I guess I like the companys that could have made it on there own if it wasn't for the big one that controlled there destiny. still a great group.
I'm going to start with my favorite company of Seaside, in the first image we have the match book from 1921 , two early lighters (This Car too uses Seaside Gasoline) from the 1930ties and 40ties, then we have three n.o.s. there last logo and there change in colors from the red, yellow,and blue to red,white ,and blue as they changed in 1941, but the logo did not come about till 1959.
I f you will look at the match book when opened, you will see that the matches were visable pumps and if the butt hole hadn't cut the heads off the matches, they were globes.
