Comment
Breen's operated in San Francisco since before the 21st century. They closed their doors in the late 1970s.
In the photo is an advertisement for the auction of the wares. It includes a bar that was originally made for a bar in Virgina City.
In token catalog someone posted a statement they found on the Web "The favorite haunt of the Examiner crowd was Breen's Cafe at 71 Third Street."
