Vintage Bar Guides & Boozy Recipes

My dad was doing a bit of spring cleaning in his bar and gave me all of these cool bar guides. Some of these date back to the early sixties, and all of them are just oozing with charm.
As far as I know my dad still has and uses this malt mixer. I remember, as a kid, thinking it was so neat to be able to make a malt at home. I grew up with this.

I think a cola malt sounds awesome!
I love the text and drawings in this bar guide.
Remember slide rules? Here's one with cocktail recipes. Check out number 43! I never remember hearing of a drink called a Bosom Caresser!
