Description: From circa 1950's, this is a hard to find table topper featuring a Charter Membership application to the Esquire Club Card / Credit Card. This table topper apparently was featured at the Pancake House restaurant located at 8601 S. W. 24th, Portland, OR, as printed at the top of the table topper. The Esquire Club Credit Card was issued by Esquire Magazine beginning in 1956. It functioned similarly to the Diners' Club card, allowing consumers to pay for meals and hotels with credit instead of cash at locations involved in the card's plan. The Diners' Club card helped popularize credit card payments during the 1950's, and it's success prompted other companies to issue their own cards to capitalize on the trend. As the credit card business grew it also began to consolidate, with Diners' Club acquiring Esquire Club in 1958 to compete with American Express. You will see some staining, a few other light marks, mild handling, and some edge and corner wear as shown in the photos. It measures 5 3/4" x 3 1/2". Great credit card memorabilia to collect, and also great as a restaurant collectible, too! Please have a look at our store for more ephemera and also vintage restaurant menus of all kinds!
