Good question.

I wasn't sure, so I emailed Rudy's..............no reply.

I was walking around the neighborhood today taking pictures, and remembered your question as I was passing Rudy's, so I dropped in.

One of the owners only knew that they took over in 1989, so we went to the experts - the regulars at the bar. Here's what they came up with:

The name "Rudy's" began in 1971, but "Sam's" didn't immediately precede it. For a year or so prior, it was known as "The Bullpen" and before that it was "Sam's".

If it's in the 1876 Atlas, I would think it existed before then and apparently it did - around 1873, according to the below review.

Here's the building (420 and 422 Union St) today and back then. They both have 6 windows on the second floor front, but with different spacing.

Below those images is that review, taken from "Industries of New Jersey: Hudson, Passaic and Bergen counties", by Richard Edwards, Historical Publishing Company.

I seem to recall seeing something to do with horses in that 1876 Atlas at that location. I also seem to recall the name "DeBaun", so I searched my hard drive and the below image came up.

Note that it says, "Union St   Nearly opposite Anderson Park".

I'll take a picture of the front of the current building tomorrow to see if there are any similarities.

I didn't realize that the title "truant officer" got an upgrade............too much "Little Rascals", I guess.

The name on the badge is Edmond Ames. Any of you truants ever get nabbed by Mr. Ames?

Here's another from last February:

Description:

Here is a great photo of the White Manna (Mana) hamburger restaurant in Hackensack, NJ, one of the original "fast food" restaurants.

This is a color photograph of the original hand painted black & white photograph by noted photographer and artist Allan Teger, noted for his work on Art Deco and Americana images.

The photo is new, still in the original shrink wrap with the photographer's label at the back.

The photo is in a mat with beveled interior edges. With the mat, the piece measures 8 x 10 inches.

Description:

Great vintage piece, although I have no idea if there will be any interest.  Since most of it is during Wartime (WWII),  I would think there should be some interest.  From what I can tell,  this scrap book was owned by a fellow named Frankie Pizza,  who was a pitcher for the Hackensack Red Wings.  Just from doing a general search,  not much info.  Many of the articles refer to the teams as part of the Northern New Jersey Baseball League.  I'm not sure if there are any "famous" names, as this is not my era,  even though I am a baseball fan.  The book itself is filled with newspaper clippings as well as a handful of photo's of the players in uniform.  The overall condition of the book itself is very yellowed and is obviously falling apart.  Being sold as-is...as-found.  The last 2 photo's look like 8x10's that are reprints of smaller photo's...last pic is Frank Pizza.




The seller posted 24 images in this auction. Since I can only put 10 in this post, I'm posting the auction link so you can check out the other 14 images while the auction's still current. If you find anything in those left-out images that should be posted, please do so.

Some of the yellowed photos were so color-saturated that I had to make them totally black-and-white.

There were mentions of games at Pulaski Park and Columbus Park. There were also mentions of not only the Hackensack Red Wings, but also the Hackensack Tigers, the Hackensack Pirates, and the Hackensack Troasts - a name that's still around. I'm not sure if those were different teams or just the evolution of one team's name.

As for familiar names, I did see a Cerbo in there and one of the articles was written by Al Del Greco, the former Record sports editor.

Anyone recognize any of the others?

It's right under the nose of BLeafe, and I don't think he's ever posted a photo of it.

So's my moustache, but I haven't posted that either.  ;)
