1964 Flower Seller Dinner Menu

Flower sellers must have been a big tourist attraction in San Francisco at one time as Union Pacific devoted a 1950s menu cover to one and then this 1960s menu cover to another. This one was on my diminishing list of missing menus.

Like most menus with a San Francisco theme, this one was used on the City of San Francisco, and the menu inside makes clear that this was actually from the Southern Pacific commissary. Among other things, the table d’hôte meals (fish, chicken, or prime rib) come with a “Southern Pacific salad bowl.” A charcoal-broiled sirloin steak is available only on the a la carte side for $4.75 (about $39 today).

With six I’ve identified but haven’t collected yet, we know the series included at least 135 photos.

Between August 2016 and August 2017 I collected only three new UP post-car color photo menus. But in the year since, I’ve added seventeen new ones, six of which were “missing menus” I found in other collections but eleven of which were brand new. Since I’ve been collecting roughly two menus I didn’t know about for each menu I knew to be missing, there may be at least a dozen more menus I haven’t documented.

Embarrassingly, I recently realized that four menus (three color, one black-and-white) that I had been counting as part of my collection were actually from images downloaded from another web site. These include the black-and-white Bryce menu, the Sun Valley swimming pool, a Sun Valley horseback riders menu, and Grauman’s Chinese Theater. In addition to these, the remaining missing menus include two of Nob Hill and one of the College of Idaho at Caldwell.

In a few days, I’ll present many of Union Pacific’s calendars, which may offer hints about what other scenes were featured on the railroad’s menus. In the meantime, download my UP menu checklist and let me know if you know of any I am missing.
