45. Charles Lindbergh Matchbook

Maker: Lion Match Co.
Original Price: Free
Worth Today: $6,000*

The Guinness Book of World Records has listed this Charles Lindbergh Matchbook as the most valuable matchbook in the world. The famed match-cover features Charles Lindbergh, an American aviator who made history as the first pilot to make a nonstop flight from NYC to Paris. The match-cover dates back to June 14, 1927.

The listed value of the cover was $100 in the 1950s, and, as you can see, the price has only gone up. In 2015, it was worth $6,000 at auction. Only 200 of these matchbooks were made. They were handed out for free to random guests at a party at the Astor Hotel in New York City.
