Souvenir Novelty Mustaches from Goman's Gay Nineties Nightclub, San Francisco

A pair of novelty handlebar mustaches kept as souvenirs from Goman's Gay Nineties, a nostalgia-themed nightclub at 555 Pacific Street in San Francisco. Popular with tourists and servicemen alike, the venue recreated the atmosphere of the 1890s Barbary Coast. This small keepsake, preserved in a personal photo album, offers a glimpse of off-duty entertainment enjoyed away from military life. Project: 218630
