content: This black book of matches has marked on it the logos of the Playboy Club and of Playboy. Printed on one side in gold lettering is the text: Congratu(l)ation B5600 -- May 12 '71. The "l" is worn away from the word Congratulation (and presumably the "s" as well, although the placement of the word does not seem to indicate an "s" was intended). The matches were given to the museum by Shermain L. Naidorf (1931-2013) who managed the Washington Branch of the Federal and Special Systems Group of Burroughs Corporation.
