This cover is really a salemans sample. It never had a striker applied to it. The sample was made by the "Diamond Match Co.". On the back side someone wrote "Diamond 5/7/37"

Like the sample above, this cover is an actual production cover made by the "Diamond Match Co."

Here is another example of the same design, but this one was made the "Federal Match Corp.". Railroad match covers made by the "Federal Match Corporation" are a rare find.

I also have another cover with this same design on it that was made by the "Ohio Match Co." that I didn't post here because the quality of it is poor. The previous owner laminated the cover causing the colors to darken and yellow.

This cover is not a Pennsylvania Railroad cover. It is a typical news stand cover advertising "The Union News Company" that was operating at Pennsylvania Railroad Stations.
