Description: Belaire Motel in Williams, AZ, on US Hwy 66 Here is a flat (staple and matches removed) unstruck front strike matchcover from the Belaire Motel in Williams, Arizona, the “Gateway to the Grand Canyon.” This matchcover does not say “66” or even the street address on it anywhere and I don’t know why. This is a front strike matchcoverso it was distributed sometime in the 1960s or very early 1970s so it was certainly distributed in the era when the Belaire was on US Highway 66 since Williams was bypassed by the interstate in 1984. I attached a scan of a AAA Tour Book which shows that this motel was on Rt. 66. The Belaire is the top entry in the attachment. (The Tour Book is not part of this auction lot: only the matchcover is included in this auction lot.) The saddle says "You'll Like It Here." This old motel is still open but it is now named the Budget Host Motel at 620 West Bill Williams Avenue in downtown Williams. There is no tape, glue or handwriting on the inside of this matchcover. The color contrast is not high (silver ink over an off-white background) but structurally matchcover is in very good unstruck condition. I have 250 US Highway 66 matchcover auctions on eBay all with opening auction bids of just $1.00. And all of the auctions have a “Buy It Now” provision for $1.45. Such a deal! (The “Buy It Now” option is lost if someone bids on the auction.) Click on “Seller’s other items” to view all of my auctions. These matchcovers are either common Rt. 66 covers or maybe less common covers with some wear making their value less. This is a great time to expand your Rt. 66 matchcover collection. Why pay $3.99 or $5.99 or $7.99 or more for common matchcovers plus insane shipping charges that by themselves are often higher than the fair value of just the matchcover? Most of my matchcovers are front strikers and all of them are flattened and ready for your album. Also flat matchcovers can be mailed easily so my shipping charge is just $1.45 for the first auction lot plus $0.20 for each additional lot when you make one payment for everything that you buy. When paying make sure everything is in your eBay “Cart” and then check out so you receive the discounted shipping rate. I only ship to the USA.
