Vintage diner & patrons (1940s)
My grandfather was a carpenter/general contractor in San Francisco, and these three photos of this diner or coffee shop were in his portfolio. I don’t have any other information about the images, but my best guess (based on clothing and other items in the pictures) is that they were taken in the late 1940s.

Another Navy man is seated at a table — and note the hat stand with a fedora, a sailor cap and fur stole. (Click on the photo to see a larger version.)
The bar area
Here’s the long bar with soda dispensers, milkshake blenders, what looks like a line of dessert bowls. (Click on the photo to see a larger version.)
