Tableau Vintage.
Vintage menu kindly provided by JT CUNNINGHAM. Thank you JT.
The Rathskeller was one of the Walker House restaurants. Check the date; just over 50 years ago.
Watch and sunglasses belonged to my paternal gramps. Purchased respectively at Simpson's Yorkdale and the Hermant Building; in the 60s. The watch is chronometer certified - high grade stuff in its day. The sunglasses are jewel like, glass and gold filled wire, heavy, precision optics for the eyes. Made right here in Toronto in the Hermant building. I was with him when he bought both items. Being the first son of a first son, he dragged me everywhere. These things will go to one of my children; not being fussy about primogeniture, they might wind up with a daughter.
Gramps' 1957 income tax return. A New City Hall pin I found at the St. Lawrence antique market. Lichee Garden matches I found at a postcard show.

Wow! Some amazing photos of destruction in WWII.
The comments at the bottom of that page are certainly enlightening.

i agree with the person who said "Too clever by half. Much more interesting to have separate before and after photos."
or that technique with the vertical bar you can slide left and right

At least in the former photo: Ford Nation on the left, urban elites on the right (it even *looks* like the kind of place you might find chez Corso Italia these days)
