Vintage Win Schuler's Restaurant Main Menu Dessert & A La Carte 1962 Michigan

This is a set of three 1962 menus from Win Schuler's, the English style restaurant the listing places in Grand Haven and Jackson, Michigan: the main menu, an a la carte card, and a folding dessert menu.

All three stay legible, with stains on the main menu and the dessert menu, while the a la carte card is crisp and clean, as the listing says.

The main menu cover shows the Signs of Welcome inn signs and the line In the greate tradition of the olde Innkeeper, and inside you get Favorites of Royalty, From the Great Hearth Kitchen, The Innkeeper Recommends, and Specialties of the Inn, with Prime Rib of Beef, Au Jus at $4.25. The back panel, A Familiar Sign of Welcome Today, pictures the restaurants in Jackson and Grand Haven and says the Grand Haven restaurant was to be remodeled by September 1st, 1962.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
