r/VintageMenus

To think, those seafood prices were considered expensive then. I had a combo from In N Out that cost that much a couple of days ago.

Scored this at an estate sale today along with many other Dutch country Pennsylvania placemats and menus, this is one of the cooler ones! I’m thinking it’s 1960s or early 70s? The estate was in Los Angeles, California, notice how they hand wrote Los Angeles in on the right side bottom of the placemat?

My friend’s father used to fly on the Concorde in the 1980’s for business, and he thought these menus would be of interest to her, as she was a dressmaker. My friend has these in sealed conservation plastic sleeves so I sadly was unable to photograph the interiors, but these are original costume sketches by fashion designer Marc Bohan for an Air France Concorde menu.

Marc Bohan served as the artistic director for Christian Dior, and these illustrations were created around the late 1980s.
Such sketches are rare collectibles often found on vintage flight menus or sold as individual artworks.

Found this beauty in an old scrapbook at an estate sale! Truly a work of art!
