Twins


Which came first, The American Restaurant & Bar or Headline Bar and Restaurant? Who knows, maybe they both were in business at the same time in the 1000 room Hotel Times Square in New York City.


These two twin covers always intrigued me. Isbells was a Chicago restaurant and Carl's Bar is in Detroit, Michigan. Two different eras, two different manumarks. 


These two covers for the O-Mi Motel and Lido Motel are less twins than they are cousins. They both have a Match Corp of America manumark and are from the same era. Most likely  the same Match Corp artist created both of them.
