A friend of mine came into the bar carrying a bag of someone's matchbook collection he had just bought. There was probably about 200 or so but I found this one to be the most interesting.
   Has anyone seen these before or been to this place ? I have no desire to there if it's still around, the matchbook looks pretty old. However it does seem to be nicely made with what looked like a gold foil on the cover and printed matches. |

Yup, a little Google search indicates that the Coon Chicken Inn wasn't exactly a beacon of interracial tranquility.
It started in Salt Lake City, but then one opened in Seattle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coon_Chicken_Inn http://depts.washington.edu/civilr/coon_chicken.htm http://www.blackpast.org/aaw/coon-chicken-inn _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Sadly, that is just another shining example of what was considered the "Norm".

A big market for racist caricatures like that are African Americans. Oprah has an enormous collection of such things.
