Chanticler Matchbox

Object/Artifact
Three matchboxes found in estate sale being conducted by the donor. No matches are in the boxes, All matchboxes have some edgewear. Box 2a-2b appears to be unused; box 3a-3b has the most wear--on the striker paper, light overall soiling, small crushed area in the middle of the left edge; box 1a-1b shows light use on the striker paper and faint scratch arcing up from the "C." All three boxes have a rooster atop a "C" printed on the reverse. There is no area code in the phone number, so they predate 1951.
