Rare 1966 American Standard Safety Code and Requirements for Dry Martinis, Orig.

Description

Very rare Original American Standards Association Safety Code and Requirements for Dry Martinis, approved August 31, 1966. Letter size, 4 pages.  Noted "Last American Standard."  This copy was a complimentary copy and has been folded in thirds to fit a letter sized envelope.
The American National Standard Institute (ANSI) is an organization that sets standard practices for industries from livestock to energy. Back in 1966, it extended its attentions to martinis, putting pen to paper in defense of the original dry martini above all others. “The need for an American Standard Dry Martini has been widely recognized by many segments of the manufacturing, distributing, and consuming public since the martini cocktail’s appearance,” writes the ANSI, in a paper entitled “Safety Code and Requirements for Dry Martinis.”The ANSI's paper is the go-to guide for the proper dry martini.  It's quoted in books like "One For My Baby: A Sinatra Cocktail Companion," and "Martini, Straight Up: The Classic American Cocktail."
The only problem is, it's not real.
It was a novelty joke, kind of a lark and a way of showing people what a standard is, in kind of a user-friendly and fun way.  It was the last standard published by the American Standards Association before it became the American National Standards Institute.
