Sometimes they will sell admired things. I once admired a set of 2 glasses set out on our table and asked if I might purchase them, and they were offered to me for a fair price. It never hurts to ask! :)La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743429387466266100.post-45287828227070393522017-05-06T16:47:01.279-07:002017-05-06T16:47:01.279-07:00Oops. d.Oops. d.Helen Killeen Bauch McHarguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042488205276127209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743429387466266100.post-54312265498357672842017-05-06T16:46:36.555-07:002017-05-06T16:46:36.555-07:00The coffee server is a treasure.

Just back from Singapore, some of the restaurants had electronic menu things like ipads...hope this doesn't spread, even though the convenience can't be denie.

I did not expect people to have this kind of ephemera, but clearly menus can have the same magic powers of preservation as old postcards and snapshots. I looked up the Hotel Touraine and read in its Wikipedia page that it closed in 1966. A closing-down auction/sale would be a good way (or a legit one if we follow Kristin's spin):-) to acquire that coffee server. That's how my mom picked up similar things.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743429387466266100.post-41685308549740548992017-05-06T13:17:52.974-07:002017-05-06T13:17:52.974-07:00Okay, let's suppose in another life she was a ...Okay, let's suppose in another life she was a barely 17 year old waitress who stole the coffee server and then grew up to be quite the opposite of that younger version.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743429387466266100.post-14172307325665153712017-05-06T09:23:35.119-07:002017-05-06T09:23:35.119-07:00Actually, Wendy...I'm kinda hoping she DID ste...Actually, Wendy...I'm kinda hoping she DID steal it; it would provide evidence of some rebellious behavior to an otherwise-obedient child...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658880722411505714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743429387466266100.post-7825363118509485472017-05-06T06:31:25.019-07:002017-05-06T06:31:25.019-07:00What a lovely coffee server.

Let's assume the Hotel Touraine was upgrading their pieces or buying new and simply gave away the ones they no longer wanted.
