N. O. FRENCH QUARTER MAMBO DRUM

Here's an unusual antique/collectible - a drum made from a nail keg and decorated to suit the street drummer's taste. The unusual musical instrument was used by a street musician in New Orleans' French Quarter for years by a musician reportedly named "Taylor." On the leather top Taylor has scribbled pencil notes to remind him of the proper beats for different numbers.

SALESMAN'S SAMPLE AD CLOCK

Are you old enough to remember when these advertising clocks were found in businesses everywhere? This one is probably from the fifties. Its neon light works perfectly, as do the clock and the display that constantly flips the ad cards. See on the first floor.
