Manufacturer: Carr China Company
User: Lande's of Denver
Pattern: Harding
Date of cup: circa late 1930s – 1952
Notes: Lande's of Denver – "A Restaurant for the Discriminating – was located at 3130 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver. It is likely that these rooms changed names over time, but at one time or another, Lande's featured a Rose Room, a Blue Room, a Jade Room, a Gold Room, La Rika Room, a Jungle Room and "The Famous Cock & Bull Room."
An undated menu advertised that it had been in business for "over 23 years." According to "Lost Restaurants of Denver," in 1961, Lande's became the Golden Ox, a Kansas City restaurant with multiple locations. Even if that menu was printed in 1960 – ostensibly Lande's last year – the restaurant would have opened in the late 1930s. However, it seemed to have been especially popular in the 1950s.
The location is now an apartment building.
As noted on the backstamp, the topmark was placed on the Harding pattern.
