DescriptionThis matchbox was made for the Montana Mining Company restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The box has a pattern all around it intended to mimic woodgrain. At the top of the front face of the box there is an oval-shaped picture which depicts a portrait of four minors. Under that image, there is a white text box that has the name "Montana Mining Company" placed inside of it. In the corner of that text box there is a small circle with "OMAHA BEEF" written inside of it. Under that box, there is more text, which reads "FEATURING/OMAHA/CORN-FED BEEF."
