DescriptionThis matchbook was made for the Ballut Abyad Shriners of New Mexico. The booklet is mostly white with some red detailing throughout. "Ballut Abyad" is displayed at the top of the front face above the group's logo. The logo depicts an Egyptian signant hanging off of a curved sword. Underneath the logo is the word "Center," which relates to the text above. At the very bottom of the front face, there is a line of text that reads, "BE SAFE—KEEP COVER CLOSED." "New Mexico" is written on the inside of the folding flap in red, right above the structural staple. On the back of the booklet there is an image of a member carrying a small girl directly above the strike strip. There is a phone number on the top fold of the booklet, and the manufacturing information is found on the bottom fold. On View
