(ca. 45,3 x 33,5 cm). 4 S. Original hellgelbgetönter Bütten-Karton in opulenter Gestaltung mit farbig illustriertem Deckeltitel. Einband mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, wurde mehrfach gefaltet, wohlerhalten. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Die umfängliche Weinkarte im repräsentativen Großformat gehörte zum Hilton Berlin. Die Weinkarte führte sehr viele deutsche Weine, daneben auch Weine aus Frankreich etc. Die Karte aus kräftigem Karton besitzt eine aufwändige Reben-Blätter-Illustration an den Rändern. Da die Weinjahrgänge allesamt bis 1957 datiert sind, stammt die Karte sehr wahrscheinlich von 1958. Das Hilton in Westberlin (Budapester Straße) wurde 1958 mit einem Neubau eröffnet, die Karte war demnach die Karte kurz nach Hoteleröffnung selbst. Seltene Westberliner Archivalie aus den späten 50er Jahren!
