Hello collective wisdom, I have a faculty member who is trying to track down "the copyright owners of various matchbooks and/or to discover if they are in the public domain." He says that he was able to ascertain the publisher for some, like the Ohio Match Company (now owned by Ohmat Interprizes), or Diamond Match Company (now Alltrista Consumer Products Company), but on others, he isn't able to get that far. He included a couple for reference. Please see this google doc, set to public viewing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1twk9Q7SQkUlAxp7yngd76ksCwicyouGSpLEscWCcPYY/edit?usp=sharing Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! -------------------------------------------------------------- Stephanie Beene (MA, MSIS) Assistant Professor Fine Arts Librarian for Art, Architecture & Planning (she/her) *Schedule a research consultation with me @:* https://libcal.unm.edu/appointments/sbeene Fine Arts & Design Library, George Pearl Hall 435 College of University Libraries & Learning Sciences University of New Mexico MSC05 3020 Albuquerque, NM 87131 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mark C Childs <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sat, Nov 14, 2020 at 1:24 PM Subject: matchbook copyrights? To: Stephanie Beene <[log in to unmask]> Hi Stephanie: Hope things are going as well as possible for you, amidst all this. I am trying to discover the copyright owners of various matchbooks I have and/or to discover if they are in the public domain. I have gotten exactly nowhere with this. On some I see the publisher – the Ohio Match Company (now owned by Ohmat Interprizes) or Diamond Match Company (now Alltrista Consumer Products Company) on others I don’t even have that clue. I am attaching a couple for your reference. Ideas?
