Postcard Kingfish Restaurant Treasure Island FL Linen 1965 Used

Treasure Island, Florida, USA1965ChromeGood

Warm knotty-pine paneling glows amber in this mid-century chrome postcard of the Kingfish Restaurant at Treasure Island, Florida — a beloved seafood institution perched "over the water" at Fish Famous John's Pass, where mounted game fish (including a magnificent kingfish specimen) lorded over a dining room dressed with neatly folded napkins, blue tablecloths, and cheerful yellow flowers. A sweeping harbor mural anchors the back wall, painting the waterfront scene that diners could nearly see from their tables. Postmarked Saint Petersburg, Florida, April 1, 1965, the card carries a breezy message from a traveler at "Passa Grille Way" addressed to a recipient in Kensington, Maryland, capturing a quintessential mid-century Florida holiday in three breathless lines.
