VTG UNION AVENUE SOCIAL CLUB COFFEE POT PORTLAND OR SILVER PLATE VICTOR S. CO

Description

UNION AVENUE SOCIAL CLUB
This Individual Silverplate Coffee Pot is a Great Piece of Portland History.  It was used in the old  Union Avenue Social Club which was probably originally a speakeasy. It dates back to 1926 when it opened on the corner of Union Ave and SE Russell. After Prohibition it moved to the present site on Grand Avenue. It was revived first by Restaurateur Lee Hamblin and then in 1966 by John Asparro.  Finally the famous Chef and Restauranteur Horst Mager operated it in the 1970's.  It is still open  today as the Grand Cafe.
The coffee pot is in excellent condition as pictured.  It was manufactured by Victor S. Co and the base is numbered.  There is a little wear on the bottom as pictured.  The pot is 7" tall and is 3 1/2" at the base.
