IT’S BANANAS!
A List of Unique Food & Drink Material
"To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ
meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth
living."
-Anthony Bourdain
...and let's not forget chorizo, heavily peated
whisky, and profiteroles! For it's the food that
awakens the senses and inspires the mind which
play a role in defining what it means to live. The
printed word is much the same and to this end, we
offer the following selection of culinary and
mixology material. Highlights include an extensive
early 20th century holographic cookbook, a Space
Race-era educational piece on a different sort of
rocket fuel (coffee), and a shipboard menu that is,
well, bananas.
Slainte!

[African American] Original black-and-white photograph of an African American
restaurant, circa 1910. 6 ¾” x 4 "”, mounted on a 9 #” x 7 #” board. The chef is seated at a
table along one side of the narrow
lean-to, while a waitress and
perhaps a busser stand nearby. The
latter is largely obscuring the
appearance of a patron. Two posted
menu boards (“TRY ONE OF J.L.
SPECIAL BREAKFASTS”) are hung
on one wall, and there are glimpses
of the kitchen in the distance.
Curiously, there are two other
posted signs: “LEAVE YOUR
BOISTEROUS LAUGHTER
[OUTSIDE?]” and “PLEASE DON’T
ANNOY CUSTOMERS WITH
YOUR LOUD ARGUMENTS”. The
photograph is clean and
unblemished, with some mild
edgewear to the corners of the
board. $100

“Drink beer morning, noon and night. Drink more beer. Just keep drinking beer. Drink it, rats,
lizards, mice and all. Drink it until it rots the liver and ruins the kidneys of American men and
women.”
Morris, Samuel N. RATS IN THE BREWERY VATS. Princeton,
Indianapolis: Samuel N. Morris, [1937]. Morris (1900-88) was a
crusading temperance advocate who was called to preach after
attending a revival meeting in Red River County, Texas. After
ministering to the congregation of The First Baptist Church in
Stamford, Texas, he moved to Del Rio, Texas to devote all his
energies to daily temperance broadcasts on the Mexican radio
station XEPN, which were heard throughout the country and as
far away as Australia and Japan. Here, Morris employs a rather
liberal interpretation of a December 1934 article on sanitation in
The Brewers’ Journal to warn of the dangers of alcohol, alleging
among other things that filth, all manner of dead animals, and
even human bodies are regularly found in beer, wine, and
whiskey vats. 10 ½” x 6”, printed front and back, and folded into
thirds. Mild toning, with just a hint of edgewear. Scarce (OCLC
locates no copies). $150

good. $300
Beebe, Lucius. THE STORK CLUB BAR BOOK. New York: Rinehart &
Company, Inc., 1946. First edition, with the calling card of Sherman
Billingsley, founder and owner of The Stork Club, laid in. Billed as “a
cocktail book to end cocktail books,” The Stork Club Bar Book offers a
glimpse of the “sumptuous doings and monster skirmishes” at The Stork
Club, the exclusive nightclub on New York’s 58th Street that played host
to a rotating cast of celebrities and aristocrats for nearly four decades,
from 1929 to 1965. Includes many of the standards, from the Ramos Fizz
to the Black Velvet to the Manhattan, broken down by the time of day:
Morning, Noon, and Night. Octavo. Original red cloth binding, with
green, white, and black stamping. Light bumping to the corners and tips.

flyleaf. Octavo. Original black cloth binding, with red and gilt titles. Internally crisp and
clean. The dust jacket is very lightly rubbed, with some sun fading to the spine which has

good copy. $100

York: House of Gadgets Inc., n.d. (circa 1935). An
exceedingly scarce cocktail-inspired gambling game.
“To start, one player acts as banker and the others place

into nine squares, with “ON ME” in the center,
surrounded by eight pictorial squares named after
popular cocktails of the era: Soul Kiss,
Sarsaparilla, Martini, Side Car, Whiskey Sour,
Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Bacardi. “After
all bets have been made, the banker spins the
wheels by pushing the lever either forward or
backward. When the wheels stop, winner and
odds appear on the dials. Banker pays winning
bets and takes all others … When “ON ME”
appears in dial, the banker takes all checks and
player on number appearing on dial becomes
banker.” Featuring Art Deco lines, the spinning
device is comprised of a metal base and
mechanics with a Bakelite shell. Housed in a
two-part box, with the printed instructions

One of the most familiar faces in the food world, both on television
on CNN’s Parts Unknown – and before that, Travel Channel’s No
Reservations and The Layover – and in print, Anthony Bourdain
(b.1956) graduated from a prestigious New Jersey prep school and
attended Vassar College for two years before dropping out to
pursue a career in cooking, which took him to restaurants including New York’s Supper
Club and One Fifth Avenue before he landed a job as executive chef at Les Halles, where he
stayed for many years, making a paltry $850 per week. His big break came in 2000 when he
released the groundbreaking book Kitchen Confidential, which blew the doors off the
cloistered world of restaurant kitchens and became a bestseller, making Bourdain a
celebrity in the process. With its follow-up, A Cook’s Tour, he embarked on a multiple
Emmy Award-winning career in television. Today, Bourdain has settled into his role as an
elder statesman of the restaurant industry, hosting Parts Unknown and not being afraid to
voice his opinion on everything from his love of Waffle House to why a Donald Trump
presidency could spell doom for restaurants. $950
Temperance] THE DEVIL’S ORCHARD. No. 125. New York:
National Temperance Society and Publication House, n.d. (circa 1890).
An advocacy piece, billed by the publisher as “invaluable to every
temperance worker,” featuring a striking engraving with the devil and
three serpents lurking in the branches of a tree, from which bottles of
woe, disease, poison, crime, misery, madness, poverty, sorrow, and
death hang.
A gin palace surrounds the trunk, with a skeleton beating a drum to
one side as patrons enter. “In the devil’s orchard it it harvest-time all
the year round, and yet, strange to stay, no one wants the fruit of this
tree when they’ve got it. It is a puzzle and a trouble to get rid of it - a
shame to humanity, and a disgrace to the common sense of the
country to produce it.” Between its founding in 1865 and the ratification of the Eighteenth
Amendment in 1919, the National Temperance Society published over a billion pages of
literature promoting complete abstinence from alcohol. Printed on one side of a single sheet
(5 &” x 8 ½”). Light toning, with a faint horizontal crease and a tiny nick along the right
edge; else an exquisite example. Scarce. $100

[Los Angeles] FARMERS MARKET LOS ANGELES: Los Angeles Souvenir. Illustrated
with black-and-white and color photographs. N.p.: N.p., n.d. (circa 1945). A souvenir
brochure of Los Angeles’ celebrated farmers market, founded in 1934 and still going strong
today. The 46-page brochure is not dated but appears to be from the late 1940s, based on
cars shown and the use of early Kodak Kodachrome images. Blurry by today’s standards,
Kodachrome was the first commercially viable color film available to the general public. In
1937 and 1938, the colors were still not stable and accurate, but by 1939 Kodachrome
improved. The brochure, which sold for 25 cents, contains a list of the businesses operating
from the marketplace. Original pictorial wrappers, with some non-archival tape
reinforcement to the rear cover; otherwise very good. $50
COFFEE COUNTDOWN! A Story of the World’s
Beverage featuring “Cherry-OK” Colorfully illustrated
throughout. New York: The National Coffee Association,
1962. Space Race-era educational brochure presenting the
history of coffee cultivation, its production, and proper
brewing, with nods to NASA’s Apollo program: “Our
country’s biggest tested space vehicle is the Saturn rocket.
Its cluster of eight huge engines consumes 750,000
pounds of liquid oxygen and kerosene fuel to launch and
keep this giant blasting. That same weight in coffee beans
is roasted and consumed every 2 ½ hours in the United
States throughout the year. (That’s 5,000 pounds every
minute of every hour of every day!)” Original pictorial
paper wrappers, with “Compliments of Huggins-Young
Coffee Company” of Los Angeles printed on the rear
panel. A fine copy. $50
[Canning] CANNED FOOD FACTS. Profusely illustrated. New York: American Can
Company, n.d. (circa 1938). “This book gives facts about forty-six of the commonest canned
foods - how each is packed, in which styles it is available, what its nutritive value is, and
where it is used in the menu. The photographs show each food exactly as it comes from the
can.” Everything from Applesauce and Baby Foods to Tuna and Youngberries is
represented, along with reports on the public health aspects of canning. Original green
paper wrappers. Light foxing to the endpapers, with some mild edgewear to the wrappers;
otherwise very good. $30

[Shipboard Menu] TROPICAL DINNER on board the S.S.
QUIRIGUA. At Sea, Wednesday, July 4th, 1934. In addition to listing
the captain and crew, the menu details the twelve-course meal, which
included Clear Green Turtle au Madeira, Florida Pompano a la
Cubana, Cartago Heart of Palm Salad, and Fancy Banana Ice Cream.
The S.S. Quirigua was part of the United Fruit Company’s Great
White Fleet. Launched in 1932, it was chartered by the U.S. Navy in
1941. As the USS Mizar (AF-12), the ship carried men and supplies
throughout the Pacific Theater of Operations, averaging over 5,000
miles a month during World War II and receiving four battle stars for
her service. The menu is printed on white paper and bound with a
brown ribbon in decorative stiff paper wrappers, which are die cut in
the shape of a bunch of bananas. Some minor creasing to the bottom
edge; else bananas, bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s. $150
[Nebraska] An original Caniglia’s menu (circa 1955), featuring portraits of Anthony “Pete”
Piccolo and four of his sons on the front. Located at the corner of 7th and Pierce Streets in
Omaha, Nebraska, Caniglia’s opened in 1946, shortly after Nuncio “Eli” Caniglia returned
home from military service in World War II. It was he who convinced his parents of the
popularity of cucurene, a thin, usually double-crusted pastry containing cheese and
whatever meats and vegetables were at hand, elsewhere in the country, making Caniglia’s
“Omaha’s Original Pizza House.” Along with Piccolo’s, Caniglia’s was among the last of
the Caniglia’s dynasty of Italian (pronounced “eye-tal-yan” by those in the know, right
Sandra Burry?), closing its doors for good in 2005. This menu (four panels, 8 #” x 12”)
features the complete compliment of Caniglia’s food, wine, and spirit offerings with prices.
Just a hint of wear; else fine. $25
[Los Angeles] An original Bit of Sweden menu (circa 1938),
with a Viking warrior raising his drinking horn emblazoned
on the front. Located at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and
Doheny Drive, the Scandinavian-style eatery reached the
height of its popularity in the 1930s and early ‘40s, offering a
smorgasbord advertised to be the largest in the world.
Longtime chef Kenneth Hansen left in 1946 to open the
Scandia restaurant, another famed Sunset Strip eatery.
Includes an introduction to Swedish culinary customs and the
wine and spirits list with prices. Printed in black on both sides
of an 8 ½ x 11 ½ sheet of tan cardstock, which is folded in half.
Light toning, with tiny staple holes to each corner; otherwise
very good. $25

[New York?] An original
holographic cook book
(circa 1910), far more

Waffles, Suckling Pig,
Philadelphia Scrapple, Chili

and shelfworn and a bit soiled, with a small chip to the top corner of the front
panel. $200
[New York] An original holographic cook book, containing more than 30 recipes,
including detailed instructions for preparing hot water cake, apple sauce cake, green
tomato mince meat, celery sauce, tomato butter, clam chowder, etc. Based on the
attributions and accompanying ephemera, it was likely compiled by a resident of Batavia,
New York around 1935. Handwritten on sheets of lined paper, which are bound in marbled
paper-covered boards (8” x 10”) with a cloth spine. Some very occasionally offsetting from
the laid in material, which includes additional recipes and a War Bonds pamphlet. The rear
hinge is cracked, but the binding remains sound. Some general edgewear to the boards. $50
[World War II] 1942 Thanksgiving and Christmas Day menus of the 38th Bombardment
Squadron, 30th Bombardment Group at March Field, California. Roast Young Tom
Turkey and Virginia Baked Ham served as the main courses for both meals, accompanied
by nearly 30 sides with cigars and cigarettes following the desserts. The 38th received
initial training at March Field and were deployed to the Third Air Force after the attack on
Pearl Harbor. Initially engaged in antisubmarine patrols, the squadron was re-equipped
with Very Long Range (VLR) B-24 Liberators, taking part in the raids on the Marshall
Islands, Tarawa, Wake Island, Guam, Saipan, the Marianas Islands, and Iwo Jima. A
complete personnel roster is printed in each of the menus (the name of Corporal William J.
Nichol is neatly underlined on the Christmas menu). Printed on both sides of a 11 ¾” x 9”
sheet of cardstock, which is folded in half. The Thanksgiving menu is printed in black on
orange stock, while the Christmas menu is printed in red and green on white stock. Both
are nearly pristine. $50

[World War II] LOOK WHO’S COOKIN’: A Wartime Cooking
Course for Young America. N.p.: Southern California Gas Company,
1943. “Can you brag about your fudge? Fine, but that’s only cooking
on the front burners. Not until you can get a meal for the whole
family (in these rationed days) are you really a cook!” Includes
instructions for “planning mess” for the day, along with tips on
proper nutrition, ingredient substitutions, saving gas, food
refrigeration and storage, etc. Original pictorial paper wrappers.
Light toning, with some negligible creasing to the spine. Better than
very good. $40
[Butchers] An advertising piece for Nelson Morris & Co. of Chicago die cut in the shape
of pork shoulder. “German-born Nelson Morris
arrived in Chicago in 1854 and found work with
meatpacker John B. Sherman. Morris started
packing under his own name in 1859. During the
Civil War, he sold cattle to the Union armies.
Morris's company was one of the original
meatpacking companies at the city's Union Stock
Yard, which opened in 1865. By 1873, the
company's annual sales were about $11 million.
Like other leading Chicago packers such as Swift
and Armour, Morris's operations extended across
the nation during the last decades of the
nineteenth century” (Encyclopedia of Chicago).
Featuring the Nelson Morris “Matchless” and
“Supreme” brands on either side, this piece (2 ½” x 4 ¾”) opens to an pictorial
representation of the entire butchering process and an invitation to visit the company’s
display at the World’s Columbian Exposition (1893) in Chicago. Minor crease near the top
of the front panel, with an occasional hint of edgewear; otherwise very good. $50

features The Fairy’s Pie or All the Goodies in One Bite, a Mother Goose
tale composed by the company’s principal, Thomas Edward
Dougherty. Founded in 1882, New England Mince Meat was one of the
leading purveyors of the spiced fruit ingredient until 1896 when it was
acquired by the Merrell-Soule Company of Syracuse, New York. Twenty leaves, bound
with a staple in pictorial wrappers (4” x 4”) embossed with “FAIRY’S PIE” and a pie crust
effect on the front and on the rear with the base of a porcelain plate. The wrappers have

Braun, Lionel H. and William Adams. FANNY HILL’S COOK
BOOK. Filled with the erotic pen-and-ink drawings of
longtime Penthouse cartoonist Brian Forbes. London: The
Odyssey Press, 1970. First edition. “...over seventy recipes for
those whose cordon is not yet truly bleu but who at least like
to eat occasionally, from Whores d’Oeuvres to fish dishes such
as Codpieces and to meat dishes such as Casanova’s
Bushwacker; from chicken creations like Cock-in-the-Red to
masterly pastas like Cunnilinguini, with Pietro’s Tongue.” The
Odyssey Press was a division of Penthouse International and
the motivation behind the publication of this cookbook is
thought to have been the rivalry between Bob Guccione’s
magazine and Playboy, which issued a number of aspirational
guides to gourmet cooking at the time. Tall octavo. Original
red cloth binding, with gilt titles. Internally crisp and clean. A
fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with some very light

women chefs running a restaurant was practically unheard of. "The girls" became
household names with their popular shows on the Food Network, Too Hot Tamales and
Tamales World Tour, and helped introduce authentic Latin food to the masses, while also
building a brand: the popular Border Grill restaurants in Santa Monica, Las Vegas, and
elsewhere. Signed by Milliken and Feniger on the half-title. Square octavo. Original red
buckram binding, with red titles. Very light bumping to the tips; else fine in a fine dust
jacket. $50

consistent measurement. The first instructor at the Boston

pioneer of the domestic science movement in the United States.
