The National Centennial Commission
held a contest to design an emblem for
the 100th anniversary of baseball in
the summer of 1938. Unveiled in
December, at the annual meeting of the
National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues, the winning design
was awarded to New York artist Majori
Bennet. The design was used on such
items as stationary, publications,
souvenirs and advertising.
The 1839-1939 baseball Centennial matchbooks were produced by the
Universal Match Corp. of Philadelphia
PA. They feature the official insignia
of baseball’s centennial on the front
cover. The back striker side features
the advertising. This cover (below) has
an advertisement for Little Tavern
Shops. Opened in 1927 Tavern shops were
the second oldest hamburger chain in
the country behind White Castle.
The cover reads "After The Game Meet And Eat At The Little Tavern Shops
'Famous for 5¢ Hamburger' Forty
Convenient Locations." The inside lists
locations in Washington D.C., Maryland,
and noting a location in Louisville
Kentucky. The saddle reads
"1939-Baseball Centennial-1939"
