Own a tangible piece of California dining history from the legendary Brookdale Lodge, famous for its "Brook Room" with a stream flowing through the restaurant.
An extremely scarce artifact, this is the original dinner menu dated July 11, 1933, offering a snapshot of Depression-era fine dining prices.
The menu features items like Rainbow Mountain Brook Trout and lists Pabst Blue Ribbon beer at just 35 cents per bottle.
Condition is fair, with visible flaws. This item was removed from a scrapbook, and the reverse side has a separate vintage San Jose souvenir panel permanently affixed with heavy glue/staining.
Expect wear and tear typical of the period, including folds, creases, discoloration, the handwritten notes on the front, and the prominent, distracting black residue/stain on the reverse from the scrapbook removal.
A fantastic historical piece for collectors interested in vintage restaurant menus, Santa Cruz Mountain history, and California ephemera who are comfortable with heavily worn items.
A must-have item for collectors of vintage restaurant menus, Santa Cruz Mountain history, or unique Californian landmarks.
This item was hand-picked by my grandfather during years of "shopping 'til he dropped" at the Summerside Flea Market and various estate rescues. It is part of a massive 150-year archive now being liquidated under CRA Section 46 (Personal-Use Property). Fresh-to-market and privately stored for decades.
