As of January 2011, I have encountered three types of BEDT matchbooks.
One book (Variety 3) resides in the collection of John LaBarre, and I own
three matchbooks of the two varieties below:
two Variety 1 (older): 1 of which is unused and one used with 1 matchstick
remaining (book disassembled for scanning),
and one Variety 2 (newer).
Variety 1
(older: pre-1941)
FEATURE MATCHBOOK PAT 1,839,845-6

Note:
"Market Terminal Wallabout Brooklyn, NY" is listed (just about the
matchheads).
No doubt this variety was made before the 1941 Navy Yard expansion;
therefore is the older of the two types represented.
Also, all rules and lines are black ink.

Note:
"Market Terminal Wallabout Brooklyn, NY" has been replaced with "NAVY YARD
(BEDT)" (just above the matchheads).
No doubt this variety was made after the 1941 Navy Yard expansion; therefore
is the younger of the two types represented.
Also BROOKLYN EASTERN DISTRICT TERMINAL on the front outside cover has been
changed to "BROOKLYN E. D. TERMINAL"
Rules and lines are yellow ink. |
