jpgrl Posted March 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2012 Well you just never know what you'll find over the toilet in your favorite restaurant's bathroom. I'm a little ashamed to admit I wondered if they'd notice if I replaced it with a repro :ermm: Anyone else seen "stuff" on the walls of a restaurant used as decoration that they would like to have taken home somehow?

uplandmod Posted March 30, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 30, 2012 Yes, there is a local restaurant in Fullerton that has a bunch of named WWI Us army soldier photos. Leonardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted March 30, 2012 Share #5 Posted March 30, 2012 There was a fast food place in Lincoln, NE that had a display of Rock and Roll memorabilia... including Marilyn Monroe's civilian ID card from when she entertained the troops in Korea. I am 96% sure it was a repro... I wasn't sure if the owners knew that, or were just smart enough to not put the original out to where it could be smashed and grabbed.

carbinephalen Posted March 30, 2012 Share #7 Posted March 30, 2012 Dang!

hbtcoveralls Posted March 30, 2012 Share #13 Posted March 30, 2012 Cracker Barrel restaurant in PA had a 1910 T-handled E-tool hanging in the "Store" in the front. Of course all that stuff is strictly "not for sale" Tom Bowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 30, 2012 Share #14 Posted March 30, 2012 I was in a 1940's themed diner in So Cal back in the early 90s that had at least 10 WW2 uniform jackets hung on a coat peg board on the wall. All were "run of the mill" Ikes (though with full insignia) but the one that stood out to me was a khaki summer four pocket AAF officer's jacket with full bullion direct embroidered collar devices, rank, wings, and AAF patch! :pinch: I lusted over it for most of my dinner.....

I notice they all have inventory tags on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbtcoveralls Posted March 31, 2012 Share #17 Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks, I checked and they wouldn't sell it (shortly after it opened) and haven't been back that way in years. So any members near Fogelsville PA (lehigh Valley near Rt 100) might give it a try. While you're there, go around the corner and see Strohl Chevrolet that was owned by Rod Strohl of Easy 506th (band of Brothers guys).

Johan Willaert Posted March 31, 2012 Share #18 Posted March 31, 2012 Like a military version of the Hard Rock Cafe! For many years in the 80s and early 90s, I thought about opening a US WW2 themed cafe or B&B in Normandy.... Name was obvious ('The Liberator') and it would have housed the collection, with the Harley Liberator above the bar... I even had the location in mind... The Cafe/Restaurant Tivoli 200yds east of the Pointe du Hoc roundabout on the main coastal road towards Omaha Beach... But then again, I never dared taking the final step.... Meanwhile some that really did it were Frank at the Roosevelt Cafe off Utah Beach, Steve at the Ivy house and a couple of other.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malygris Posted April 4, 2012 Share #19 Posted April 4, 2012 Anyone else seen "stuff" on the walls of a restaurant used as decoration that they would like to have taken home somehow? Oh my gosh, if I could have only taken home the gun collection that hung on the wall in White's Truck Stop (up until a couple years ago, when it was sold). The collection included historic antiques and oddities, as well as nazi daggers, a SchnellFeuer and full auto Thompson. My favorite display was the one with all the P38s, Lugers, Broomhandles, etc. Oh and the 44 Automag! They also had a killer antique motorcycle collection outside that included Norton, Harley, Indian. It was just an amazing place to stop and eat and gander at the old man's collection. His grandson inherited all of it and auctioned the guns, Ebayed the bikes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
