a recent estate find...
a pretty scarce piece of paper ephemera relating to the expo.this is a gold toned souvenir card stating:
\" This Certifies That I Attended the TELEVISION THEATRE and used the first TELEVISION TELEPHONES Ever Shown to the Public Palace of ELECTRICITYCalifornia Pacific International Expo.San Diego, 1935 \"
measures about 2.5\" x 3.5\"
I could find no photos of this theatre or of these telephones which is a shame as it seems like it would such an historic event in the history of television as well as the history of the smart phone. If anybody knows more about this please do share.
The card is in excellent condition. Bright and vibrant. very rarely handled or seen since 1935. two very tiny holes along bottom right edge where it had been stapled onto the page of a scrapbook. please examine photos closely and ask any questions you may have. and check out my other listings for related materials.
