This weekend, I found a whole bunch of vintage Sam's Seafood stuff when it looks to have been 'pre-tiki'. Maybe '40s or '50s judging by the prices? The turtle steak dinner is only $1.50!! ....wait a minute...turtle steak dinner??
And cocktails (no tiki drinks on the menu yet) are all around $.30.
$.15 for a beer?!
This envelope was also in the collection (which explains the fold line down the menu). Maybe it was a mailed promotional thing to drive business? Did they do that back then??
Business cards and matches were included as well
This was seperate from the collection and really cool, though I didn't end up buying it....yet.
Hand painted, camera ready art for some sort of promotional use.
Pretty cool to see Sam's before it underwent the tiki transformation. Even back then, the swordfish was on the roof!
Totally killer score Spike,
congrats!
