A napkin from Sunset Bowling Center, 5842 Sunset Blvd.

A collection of vintage Los Angeles (mostly) cocktail napkins has been listed on EBay, priced at $274.99 or best offer. Nightspots include many favorite watering holes of the past: Sardi’s, the Nickodell, Mike Lyman’s, and Clara Bow’s “IT” Cafe. All of them are excellent examples of graphic design from the 1940s-50s. As with anything on EBay, an item and vendor should be evaluated thoroughly before submitting a bid.
