Description: Pappy & Jimmy's LOBSTER SHACK Memphis Tennessee TN Step back in time with this rare and unique piece of Memphis history! This crepe paper lobster bib from Pappy & Jimmy's Lobster Shack, circa 1950s, is a true collector's gem.Details:Dimensions: Approx. 15" x 17"Era: 1950sMaterial: Delicate crepe paperHistory of Pappy & Jimmy's Lobster Shack: Pappy & Jimmy's Lobster Shack was an iconic Memphis restaurant established in 1947 by Lehman C. "Pappy" Sammons and his business partner Jimmy Mounce. Known for its quirky decor, including clocks, guns, and even Amelia Earhart's flying boots, the restaurant was a beloved local institution. It attracted celebrities like Tyrone Power, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Dizzy Dean, and Yogi Berra. The famous neon sign featuring human-headed lobsters was a memorable landmark (source: storyboardmemphis.org, historic-memphis.com).Why It's Special: We confidently believe this is likely the last one on Earth, or at the very least, one of the very few remaining. The chances of other bibs from that era surviving are extremely slim due to their disposable nature and the fragile quality of crepe paper. This particular bib survived because it was preserved between the pages of a scrapbook for over 50 years, forgotten until now.Own a Unique Piece of Memphis History: This bib is more than just a relic; it's a tangible connection to a bygone era and a beloved Memphis establishment. It will be carefully rolled and shipped in a protective tube to ensure it arrives safely at your door.Don’t miss your chance to own this extraordinary piece of history.
