The Snapshots in Time Collection
Scrapbook Page with Pasted Matchbook Souvenirs from Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Route 66, 1940s
This scrapbook page continues a collection of matchbooks gathered from nightclubs, restaurants, and shops visited during the 1940s, spanning Los Angeles nightlife venues such as the South Seas and the famed Cocoanut Grove, a Route 66 roadside stop in Lyons, Illinois, and a Sacramento shoe retailer. Such collections were a popular pastime of the era and offer a personal travel record of the serviceman or civilian who assembled this album. Project: 218630
