King Burger Drive In Restaurant ~1956-1976 Lima Ohio ~ Vintage Drinking Glass
I added this vintage drinking glass to my collection recently. It was made by Federal Glass (a well known Columbus, Ohio glass company) for King Burger. My research didn't turn up too much about the restaurant.
Vintage Pepsi Cola soda pop sign, on display at Lima's Happy Daz restaurant.
Articles from the Lima News, 1960. Should more accurately be called ''advertorials''.
These are the only articles or online mentions I found about King Burger, besides people mentioning the place nostalgically in web-comments, and many help wanted ads in the Lima News archives. They ran ads from 1956 until 1976.
I didn't find any mentions of the owners, Charles Rockwell and Paul Fields, either.
Here's a photo of the King Burger building, but as there aren't any signs, I don't know when it was taken. Definitely before the google maps satellite image of the building which today houses Sullivan Insurance.
