An amazing piece of history. Machus Red Fox was a renowned fine dining restaurant in Bloomfield Township, Michigan which closed its doors in 1996. It was a frequent hangout of Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa and was the last place he was seen alive. This is the pewter plaque which was hanging in the front of the restaurant signifying the highest level of food quality. It includes the Chaine de Rotisseurs crest along with the Machus Red Fox crest. The back shows multiple Wilton crests and the RWP logo. Excellent condition. Please see all of the attached pictures. A bit of history on Machus Red Fox from early 1996:The Bloomfield Township, Mich., restaurant where former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa was last seen has closed its doors.

The Machus Red Fox served its last dinner to the public Saturday night and catered its final private brunch Sunday.Owner Robert J. Machus said Saturday that he was unable to renew his lease.

The restaurant was opened in 1965 by Machus\' father, Harris O. Machus.

Hoffa, fighting to regain control of the corruption-plagued Teamsters union, disappeared July 30, 1975, from the parking lot of the restaurant, where he reportedly had gone to meet a mob boss.

At the time, Machus said, his father feared the publicity would give the restaurant a bad reputation. Over the years, however, it may have turned out to be just the opposite, assuring the restaurant lasting name recognition and a footnote in history.
