1957 Toots Shor Baseball Hall of Fame Reunion NYC Restaurant Menu Manhattan







This vintage 1957 restaurant menu comes from legendary restaurateur and noted NYC character, Toots Shor. His restaurant was located on 51 West 51st Street in Manhattan. 
Dated September 17th, 1957.
This is a true gem for any menu collector or baseball enthusiast. It showcases a Baseball Hall of Fame Reunion, making it a piece of history that's hard to come by. It's a perfect addition to any collection of menus, paper, or collectibles
The back cover features a rare group photo of 14 Hall of Fame Baseball players with Toots Shor himself;
Jimmy Foxx
Mel Ott
Mickey Cochrane
Ed Walsh
Ty Cobb
Roger Hornsby
Pie Traynor
Tris Speaker
Fred Clarke
Arlie Latham
Cy Young
George Sisler
Charley Nichols
Charlie Gehrin
It does have condition issues but it can be enjoyed as is or well worth taking it to a paper conservator as this is pretty hard to find.
See the photos and video for the best idea of what this is like.
This menu has a very slight "attic" smell when you hold it right up to your nose. Noted for accuracy's sake for anyone who may be sensitive.


I just picked up a lot of amazing vintage restaurant menus. If you collect them, please check back.
