Description

Two empty matchbook covers advertising the Chanticler (Millburn) on one side and the Roost (Newark) on the opposite side. 2015.043.001 (left in the photo) has a red rooster on a gray background on the Chanticler side and 2015.043.002 has a smaller red rooster inside a black circle, on the Chanticler side. Estimating the date to the 1940's or 1950's The Chanticler, at 480 Millburn Avenue, does not appear in the society's directories until the 1936 directory. The prior book was 1928 and the Chanticler was not in that book. William Naue appears as the manager through to the 1952 directory. He was gone by the next directory, which is 1960. Purchased on eBay from Tom & Christine Homan; 16123 Meranda Rd; Anna, Ohio 45302.
