Bill of Fare. Wednesday Evening, May 26th, 1886.
Oneonta, N.Y. 1886.
Broadsheet menu (21.5 x 14 cm.), one leaf, printed recto only. Illustrated with two small, engraved vignettes at head and foot of sheet. An attractively designed menu for a dinner of the Royal Arch Masons in the central New York State city of Oneonta. The menu items are interesting, with a strong representation of clams, oysters, lobsters, salmon, sardines, boiled ham, corned beef, pickled tongue, pickled tripe, pickled (more) clams, and of course, ice cream, strawberries, and pie. "J. Benedict [sic], Prop.” is printed, but there is no indication of the name of a hotel, caterer, or restaurant. Very slight fold lines, otherwise very clean and bright.
Price: $250.00
