Brooklyn Heights Optical

"At least the font is large enough
to read without glasses."


Al Leavy's Grill

"The Al Leavy's font is so swoopy and fun
- a nice contrast from the blocky
mechanical design of the 1930s"


Tony's Cafe

"This cover has clearly
seen better days, but
I hope to look this good
when I'm 100 years old."


Trojan Chop Suey

"Although this cover is for a
Los Angeles business, you can
see at the top that it was
made in pre-war Japan
(hence the unusual striker)."
