Colorful blue, white, red and yellow graphics advertise the CASINO and Hotel Olympus, with Korean lettering for the Olympus Tourist Hotel. Side panel lists telephone numbers for Inchon, Korea and Seoul.
The Olympus Hotel occupies an interesting place in Korean casino history. South Korea\'s first licensed casino opened at the Olympus Hotel in Incheon in 1967, initially serving the developing foreign-tourist market.
This example appears to date from the early decades of the Olympus Hotel casino, most likely the 1970s, although an exact production year is not printed on the box.
Original slide-out box retains numerous wooden matches with white tips, which appear unused/unstruck.
Excellent piece of vintage Korean hotel, casino, gambling and travel memorabilia with particularly attractive period graphics.
Light age and storage wear consistent with its age. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition.
Sold as pictured.
