U.S., Advertising Covers - Hotel Illustrated & Collateral, 1887-1952. An impressive collection of about 650 covers, all with an illustration of the hotel on the front (a few exceptions where an illustration on the back is particularly attractive). The 650 covers represent about 575 different U.S. hotels, several hotels having two or more covers of differing designs. The unusual feature of the collection is that the collector made and attempt to find matching Letterheads, Postcards, Matchbook Covers & Baggage Labels featuring illustrations of the same hotels. Of the 575 hotels, about 375 have at least one matching item. Over about 7 years, only 10 sets of matching cover, postcard, label and matchbook were pieced together, and none of those 10 has a letterhead. In total there are about 35 letterheads, 370 postcards, 100 matchbook covers and 60 labels. Also included are about 80 of the collateral items with no matching cover, the illustrated labels being especially difficult to locate, due to their fragility. As for condition, it is, with very few exceptions, clean and F-VF. Seven of the 10 "sets" and the "A" hotels with at least one matching collateral item are neatly displayed in a binder; the balance is arranged alphabetically in boxes. A truly fascinating lot. Over 1300 items in all.
