Black Americana: Coon-Chicken Inn Child's Menu

Collectibles : Black Americana : Advertising : Coon Chicken Inn : Child's Menu : Cardboard/Paper

 

For your consideration is your choice of (3) Coon-Chicken Inn Children's Menus. All in excellent vintage condition. No tears or writing. There is some yellowing of the cardboard paper, especially along the edges. Dimensions are approx.: 4"L. The full order menu is printed on the inside in white with a all black background. On the back it is marked with three different small area maps of each of the Coon-Chicken Inn Restaurants. The front is the Coon-Chicken caricature of a African American Bell Hop smiling with Coon-Chicken Inn printed on his teeth. (Price quoted is for one/each menu). Please Note: In the picture the trim looks black in color, however, the trim around the face is in a very dark blue, almost black color.

(Picture shows (4) menus, however, (1) has sold, so now there is only (3) menus left!)
