Please Date this Menu Excerpt

Hello All,
I wonder if I could get a timeframe for when this menu may have been printed. The prices (55 cents for luncheon) and terms like, "pin-money" are sure clues to you my fellow history sleuths. There is a surprise on the other side I'll reveal in the next post!

GUESS the '20's. What is the word next to sliced?

I can see lots of advertisements in American newspapers for 55c luncheons from the 1920s - 1950.

It's cut off, but it looks like "tomatoes."
I was leaning toward the '20's, also. Thanks!

Agreed. Thanks!

Ta-da! My guess is, the inn or restaurant had a colonial theme, and someone cut out George Washington. This was a yard sale find in an old frame.

Actually, I guess it's, "Stewart's Pin Money Luncheon." There was large Stewart's Department Store in Baltimore.
