A sometimes-confusing issue and study in itself due to multiple variations, the Diamond Match Co. matchbooks featuring NHL players from the 1930s are one of the hockey collecting hobby’s most underrated treasures. Offered here, we present this collection of twenty-one (21) Diamond Match silver hockey matchbook covers that were issued in circa 1934 and includes HOFers such as Shore, Gardiner, Worters, Boucher, Cook, Oliver and Clapper. All silver variation offerings and featuring an image of the featured player on one side, the other sports a small bio about them as well as the strike strip. With none of the included examples having no matches present in them, it is also worth pointing out that all the included matchbooks have been flattened out. Including the likes of Eddie Shore, Chuck Gardiner, Roy Worters, Frank Boucher, Bun Cook, Harold Oliver and Dit Clapper, also included are those of Butch Keeling, Doug Brennan, Murray Murdoch (x2), Otto Heller, Cecil Dillon, Johnny Sheppard, Jack Beattie, Rosario Couture, Roger Jenkins, Lloyd Klein, George Patterson, Red Conn and Eddie Burke. All presenting in around good condition, with the common creases and staple holes present over all of those that are included, it is also worth noting that the Worthers has some small spots of paper loss, the Boucher has a bit of residue on the reverse, the Clapper and Jenkins have penned notations on them and the Murdoch has staining.
