Ghostbusters Phone

181100187445
Item number:
eBay


I met my niece Cassie at an estate sale in Marietta last weekend.  The estate sale didn't start until 9am.  We were so early we saw a fox running across the street and the fattest robins in Cobb County. I finished my thermos of coffee before 8am.  The advantage of arriving early is being first in line.  I went straight to some retro furniture I wanted and then straight to the bathroom....all that coffee.  While in the bathroom I saw this phone on the vanity.   I was able to shop the bathroom behind a locked door.  The Ghostbusters Phone was probably a promotional item for video stores.  I was unable to find the original box.  This phone is currently on listed eBay.

Genevieve Norris, Women's History Month

I recently acquired an auction box lot with publicity photos and scrap book of ice skater Genevieve Norris.   I enjoyed rediscovering the age of elegant nightclubs and glamourous athletic women.

Genevieve's scrap book includes 1944 news paper clippings of her performances at the Netherland Plaza in Cincinnati, Oh.  She also performed at the Biltmore's Bowman Room in New York.  She would later perform with The Ice Follies and Holiday on Ice.











Contract for Netherland Plaza Performances
Genevieve Norris married performer and artist Ted Meza.  They ran Mez Art Studios, which was a television and prop business.
