The Black Rose: San Francisco First Trans Bar - Vintage 1970's

An amazingly special piece of history from San Fransisco's first trans bar, The Black Rose.

While the matches inside this incredible souvenir are unused and the front cover is perfect, the back of the matchbook has fallen apart at the bottom (across the match-strike (see photos).
