This is the story.....
A couple musicians in their 20s were retained by the theater to clean out over 50 years worth of props.....everything from the usual costumes to an exact reproduction of an electric chair used in Sing Sing prison. Everything was tossed in one gigantic warehouse room on the first floor of the back of this immense theater, which the owner of the building wanted cleaned out to rent.
When I got up to the organized room on the 6th floor, there was TONS of antique and vintage furniture, kitchen stuff, etc. He said that this was only one of 2 TVs there, the other I saw, which was a late 50s RCA Sportable in semi-rough shape. Most of it they were still going through, and I had limited time (and funds, after buying this thing), so I didn't opt for the grand tour.
I don't know how the kids were being paid or whatever, but the owner just wanted all this stuff gone. And here it is
