Historical 1920s-30s Vintage 'Open' Sign from Union Oyster House in Boston, Massachusetts

ARTIFACT: This is a fabulous 1920s-1930s open sign for Boston’s Union Oyster House, the city’s oldest restaurant (established 1826), and the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the United States. Union House is now designated a National Historic Landmark, and over its career has housed a Revolutionary–era publisher, a sewing circle for at least one future First Lady, an exiled future French king, and was the first spot in the country where a toothpick was used. The etched glass sign is rectangular and hangs from two brackets.
