Okay, one more post for January 2021 --as I noticed there were only 7 posts this month and suddenly, and for no reason what-so-ever, just decided that I hate ending a month on an odd number of posts. Anyway, some of you already saw this exact photo on Facebook last week, but here it is again for everyone else: a roller skatin', Cracker Jack prize lass on her way to sell her silly soul to the Devil for a tantalizing taste of mid century, processed meat temptation at-- The Tempter Sandwich Shop! I googled this KC chain to get some more info, but only found another matchbook (with a slightly different design and color scheme) on eBay for sale, unfortunately. But is that not a great design? And yes, both sides are identical. And I would love to tell you all that this matchbook opened up to reveal a couple rows of hot lil devil shaped matches staring evilly back at me, but alas they are all used up, --and no, there is also nary a contract inside for signing away your eternity to a perfectly Satanic sandwich served piping hot on a pitchfork. Damn it.
Hey, the Devil cuts the crusts off for you and everything! Neat graphic. I feel like the color scheme is pretty wild for including that bit of teal. It's kind of "vintage varsity jacket colors" cool.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of sad that this place had 4 locations, and yet nothing exists of it anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI love the "Tempter" font, and yeah, the pastel-ish colors are a surprising choice.
Jempter! Jempter, I say!!
