Vintage Fitzwilly’s Restaurant Advertising Matchbook – New England
Original advertising matchbook from Fitzwilly’s – “The Uncommon Victualer”, a New England restaurant with locations at:
• 23 Main Street, Northampton, Massachusetts
• 338 Elm Street, New Haven, Connecticut
The olive green cover features bold typography and slogan, while the interior lists both restaurant locations and retains its original black match stems — a premium match style used by higher-end restaurants.
A great piece of regional dining history from the late 1970s to early 1980s casual-gourmet restaurant era.
