The fishing net looks like it was made from a fine hairnet thats been gilded. It's 6.5x10 inches, a die-cutout for the net and in great shape. back cover folds down the center I seem to remember that the Seattle Outrigger opened in 1949, Mead and Trent seem to have liked Vic's menu quips and may have borrowed the idea. The quip after the Zombie ending with ...limited to one (dozen), reminds me of the old t-shirt, "Tacoma.. 160,000 alcoholics can't all be wrong!" Aloha, tikicoma
