The Ship Vintage Fine Dining Menu Lynnfield MA 1970s Fancy Themed Restaurant



 


Indulge in a trip down memory lane with this vintage menu from The Ship in Lynnfield, MA, circa the 1970s. 
It was the ultimate nautical themed restaurant as an actual ship but on the side of the highway. The ship was
 built as an American Brigantine and was believed to be the first square rigged vessel built in 100 years. 
The food was delicious. They had functions and a special businessmen's luncheon as well.
This is sure to evoke fond memories.

Pat Gratton sometime in the late 1970s. The book includes various recipes that have been tried and tested

Antique Cast Figurine Scottie Dog By Jennings Brothers Silver Plate Paperweight #2


 


This vintage cast figurine of a Scottish Terrier is a true collectible item. Crafted by Jennings Brothers in the United States, this metal figurine showcases the beloved breed in all its glory. Its intricate details and elegant silver plate finish make it a perfect addition to any dog lover's collection. This figurine is a paperweight, so it's both functional and decorative.

There is a hole on one of his rear paws. It is not seen unless you turn it over. It may be a manufacturing flaw as I can't figure out how this happened through wear or accident.

Last one.
