• A spectacular, museum-grade artifact from the golden age of international hospitality travel, this original 1940s daily specials menu insert originates from the world-famous Sanborns chain in Mexico City, Mexico. Founded by American entrepreneurs Walter and Frank Sanborn, the company grew into an absolute cultural phenomenon, most famously operating out of the landmark 16th-century Casa de los Azulejos (House of Tiles). The top margin of each page prominently displays the legendary Sanborns corporate trademark—an intricate blue engraving of three owls perched upon a branch.

  This specific insert serves as a beautiful culinary time capsule, meticulously designed for both local high society and post-war international tourists. The left-hand panel lays out the entire selection in pristine Spanish, while the right-hand panel provides a precise mirror translation in English. The options outline a traditional mid-century luxury meal structure: featuring a full "Comida Corrida" / "Table D'Hote Dinner" for $4.00, alongside a "Plato Suelto" / "Plate Dinner" for $3.00. The diverse a la carte selections highlight retro specialties including a "Pastel de Filet y Riñón" (Steak and Kidney Pie) for $2.00, a complete multi-course "Comida Mexicana" (Mexican Dinner) for $2.50, and a premium "Plato Filete Sanborns" (Sanborns Steak Plate) for $3.50. The physical item measures just under 7.5 inches in height and has a nominal weight of under 1 ounce (approx. 0.04 lbs / 18 grams). An exceptional, display-ready document honoring the rich history of Pan-American mid-century commercial design.
