Hard to believe that any of these still exist, especially in this condition. And I have two of them. This listing however is for only one. There are no rips, tears, or writing inside. The menu has 12 pages including the covers.
The menu/brochure consists of:
-The front cover shows a field of berries and the front of Knott's Berry Farm. The back cover is set up so it can be mailed. The stamp area says "Place 2 cent stamp here".
-A time line for Knott's Berry Farm beginning with 1920
-A message from Cordelia Knott (Mrs. Walter Knott)
-A message from Walter Knott
-Photos of several of the shops onsite (The Market, Virginia's Gift Shop, The Sport Shop)
-A listing of record days at the restaurant
-The menu (described below)
-A few pages showing parts of the park
-The location map
About the menu page.
You could get a Southern Fried Chicken dinner with salad, potatoes and gravy, vegetables, hot biscuits, jam, home-made pickles, your drink, and your choice of desert. for the whopping price of $2. Children's dinners are priced at $1. If you just wanted a piece of fresh boysenberry pie, it was .15 cents and a cup of coffee was .05 cents.
I'm using the date of 1951 for this menu for a few reasons. One is that on the 'record days" log, the last entry is for 1950, the cars on the front cover are from the 1940s, and the telephone numbers listed are 'Anaheim 2291" and 'Buena Park 307'. Those types of phone numbers were phased out in the very early 1950s.
So, there ya have it. A marvelous piece of Knott's Berry Farm history and in really great condition.
Buyer to pay delivery charges from Nevada of $6.75.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
