This framed matchbook set hails from the Elephant Bar, a once lively Pittsburgh watering hole known as the “Home of the Coco Loco.” With its playful elephant illustrations, tropical palm trees, and bold green-and-red lettering, the design conjures up the escapist atmosphere of tiki drinks, late-night crowds, and a touch of 1970s-’80s kitsch. More than just a piece of advertising, it evokes a time when matchbooks doubled as both utility and souvenir—pocket-sized reminders of evenings spent in themed bars and restaurants. Preserved here, it captures the spirit of a local spot that promised more than food and drink: it offered an experience designed for pure enjoyment.
