Up for sale is a fascinating piece of mid-century hospitality and financial history: an original paper credit card issued by the legendary St. Francis Hotel on Union Square in San Francisco, dating back to the early 1950s.

The card you're getting is in excellent condition and has not been signed. Don't miss the chance to add this unique piece of San Francisco history or early credit ephemera to your collection.
