Review from Robert Abrams, former Bronx borough president and NYS Attorney General: “Congratulations on putting together a spectacular collection of photographs of the Bronx that brings back irreplaceable memories. I was transformed to an earlier period of my life reliving indelible wonderful memories of times spent in different parts of the Bronx. Your narration is deserving of an award helping to trigger vignettes of my growing up and living in the Bronx. You recaptured and rekindled moments that were special in my life. Thank you for reuniting me with a unique era in the history of our borough and city. I and hundreds of thousands of former Bronxites are in your debt. With appreciation and gratitude. Bob Abrams”

SPECIAL SALE: Matchbook Poster (unframed)
$19.95Are you a phillumenist? You are if you collect matchbooks!
ON SALE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY: “Back In THE BRONX” is currently selling a brand-new, never-before-seen Matchbook Poster. The image itself is on 13″x13″ glossy thick paper-stock and depicts dozens of matchbook covers from your favorite bars, restaurants, and clubs from the olden days in The Bronx. Interspersed among the matchbooks are images of the locations they represent. This is truly one-of-a-kind!
Collecting matchbox labels emerged along with matches. Manufacturing of matchbooks peaked during the 1940s and 1950s, then steadily declined because of the availability of disposable lighters and various anti-smoking health campaigns. Recently, matchbooks have begun to regain some of their popularity as a “retro” advertising item, particularly in high-end restaurants, and the idea of the phillumenist returned. The hobby became especially widespread from the 1960s through the 1980s.
The Bronx, like the other New York City boroughs, had its share of matchbooks. Back In THE BRONX has collected dozens of these and compiled them into the unique image you see here, arranged in categories such as Restaurants & Cafeterias (161st St. & 167th St. Cafeterias), Bars (Murphy’s Bar & Grill), Service Stations (Fordham Service Station), Taxis (Adair Private Taxi), Bowling Alleys (Playdrome, All Star Lanes, Bruckner Lanes), Catering Halls (Mayer’s, Gun Hill Manor), Wines & Liquors (Farms Wine & Liquor), Hotels & Motels (Bronx Motel), Automobile Dealers (Brawley Oldsmobile), Cleaners (Spotless), Pharmacies (Thomas’ Pharmacy), Pizzerias (Allegro Pizzeria), Bronx Attractions (Bronx Zoo), Television Repair (Bronx Television Service), and more!
The picture is a keepsake and a showpiece to be displayed, either framed or un-framed, anywhere in your home; be it on the wall, mantle, or coffee table.
Don’t miss a chance to own this beautiful picture, or buy one as a gift for a fellow phillumenist Bronxite!

Back In THE BRONX Nostalgic Chess Set
$169.95Add to cart
Back In THE BRONX Nostalgic Chess Set
$169.95Play chess with 32 beautiful brass pieces of your past.
Chess pieces fashioned after Bronx icons. A crafted storage case and unique Bronx chess board. These sculptured chess pieces were created by a well-known artist, Don Desper. His work appears in many galleries, corporations and homes throughout the world.
The Pawn characterizes that infamous Bronx gang, the Fordham Baldies. The figure wears a leather jacket and jeans. The Rook is a scaled-down Kingsbridge Armory with two turrets and a stairway leading to the entrance. The Knight is a whimsical sculpture of 9 animals found at the Bronx Zoo. The Bishop is modeled after the Conservatory at the Botanical Gardens, complete with the lush vegetation that grow there. The Queen is our very own Loew’s Paradise Theatre with a facade capturing all of the details from the clock to the ticket booth, and the King is the Yankee Stadium, perched atop 3 baseball bats. Look carefully and you’ll see the baseline and the pitcher’s mound.
Imagine playing a game of chess, where every move you make, you hold a piece of your past. And each piece isn’t punched out of plastic or imitation wood, but handsomely molded brass, weighted (over 10 pounds!) and hand crafted by a famous artist. The Pawns are that infamous Bronx gang, the Fordham Baldies, with clenched fists, holding baseball bats, as they stand ready to protect your turf. The Rook is the Kingsbridge Armory. The Knight is The Bronx Zoo. Your Bishop is the Conservatory at the Bronx Botanical Gardens, Queen is the Loew’s Paradise and the King is Yankee Stadium.
Even the board is checkered with squares that alternate between the high-bouncing spaldeen, that kept us in the neighborhood having fun, and the 15-cent subway token that allowed us to reach out and explore other areas. Besides the heightened joy of the game, this set is a keepsake and a showpiece to be displayed anywhere in your home.
Give yourself, a friend or a relative a great treat with this great gift. And if you order early, you’ll get a special price on our limited edition. As always, there is a full, money-back guarantee. For Bronxites, this is the real deal! – Steve Samtur, editor, Back In THE BRONX. Your chess set will arrive complete with a custom-crafted playing board & genuine wood carrying case.
