Two gorgeous older covers picked up in Hagerstown at the United Eastern Swapfest this year. The first is for The Stevens Cafe Nikabob or Nikabob Cafe (there are several variations). One of my favorite recent acquisitions, the abstract design of the man with top hat and cane and woman with what's obviously a fur stole of some sort looks amazing on this mid 1930's cover.
The Nikabob Cafe, circa 1930's, located at 875 South Western Avenue in Los Angeles. The Nikabob Cafe got it's name from Nick __ and Bob Cobb of the Brown Derby and Cobb Salad fame. (From http://waterandpower.org/museum/Early_LA_Buildings_(1925%20+)_Page_2.html )
An add for the Nikabob with luncheon and dinner prices.
The next cover is for The Palomar Ballroom, also in Los Angeles, was built in 1925 and was "billed as the largest and most famous dance hall on the West Coast. The dance hall could accomodate four thousand couples". (From http://www.100megspopup.com/ark/PalomarBlrm.html )
