It was a while back when I
posted about a lucky blogger finding some of these wonderful Hunt-Wesson matchbooks, designed by Saul Bass on a flea market. Well I still haven't found any at my local boot sale, but
design:related member Karen Horton has just found almost a full set (14 of the 16 and lots of doubles)...
"while rummaging the Chelsea Flea Market with no particular agenda, I had a hunch I recognized a few Saul Bass designs peering out of a randomly assorted box. What made the Saul Bass designs stand out instantly is that they were the only matchbook covers in a pile of hundreds sans advertising-related text or graphics."![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WjxBSW9JWRY/S543lEESGGI/AAAAAAAADes/G3R3ScurMA8/s400/saul_bass_matchbook_covers_1.jpg)

Nice one Karen, that's a great collection - I'm not jealous in the slightest (well maybe a little!)
