N.C.O. Open Mess & Bar, Eglin A.F.B., Pensacola – Swampy’s Florida Matches.
This matchbook is from the ‘Open Mess’ and bar for the Non Commissioned Officers (all ranks between Private First Class and Lieutenant) inside Eglin Air Force Base in Pensacola. The building this was for was demolished in 2010.
The problem with matchbooks, from a historians perspective, is the lack of dates. Considering the marked importance of Eglin AFB during WWII, this may be from around 1950.
This matchbook is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
