UP FOR SALE IS AN EXTREMELY RARE T - SHIRT FROM THE BAHOOKA RIBS & GROG RESTAURANT IN WEST COVINA CALIFORNIA. THIS RESTAURANT CLOSED AND EVENTUALLY REOPENED IN ROSEMEAD CA.
IN 1967 TWO BROTHERS AND A SISTER OPENED THE FIRST BAHOOKA RESTAURANT IN A SHOPPING CENTER IN WEST COVINA CALIFORNIA. THEY DECIDED TO MAKE UP T SHIRTS FOR ADVERTISING PURPOSES. THE LOGO ON THE FRONT OF THE SHIRT WAS DONE FROM A SKETCH BY AN EMPLOYEE. ONE OF THE OWNERS WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF FRITZ MAYTAG WHO AT THE TIME OWNED ANCHOR STEAM. WITH FRITZ\'S PERMISSION THEY PUT THE ANCHOR STEAM LABEL ON THE REVERSIDE SIDE OF THE SHIRT AND THEY SOLD THE CRAFT BEER AT THE RESTAURANT. THIS SHIRT WAS OWNED BY THE KITCHEN MANAGER OF THE RESTAURANT FROM 1969 TO SOME TIME IN THE 70S. I DOUBT THAT YOU WILL LIKELY FIND ANY MORE OF THESE OUT THERE.
THIS SHIRT IS WEARABLE. IT IS A SIZE MEDIUM. IT HAS A SMALL HOLE NEAR THE POCKET AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MOTH HOLE. I HAD TO REALLY LOOK TO FIND IT. TWO SMALL DOTS ON THE BOTTOM HALF. WE WERE TOLD THIS HAS BEEN PACKED AWAY IN A DRAWER FOR YEARS. IT HAS AGE WEAR TO IT BUT IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE. THE LOGO ON THE BACK IS THE ANCHOR FROM ANCHOR STEAM BEER
