Odd items found inside phonographs

[Confettihead]

Yesterday after hauling home a c250 I looked behind the horn and found this. The first ticket cost 8 cents the second one was 10 cents. A bit of research shows that 1957 tickets cost more than that so I am assuming 1956 or 1955 (the year Disneyland was dedicated)
I also found about 24 1930's-1940's silver dimes in the faceplate of a 1948 Seeburg jukebox I restored. I still have them.

Ahhhh, now here's a subject I know quite a bit about (finally). Do you happen to have a picture of the backside of the ticket book?

I have been buying gramophones at my local auction room for many years, but my first purchase there gave me more than I bargained for.

An Alba portable came with several records in the lid pocket, and an interesting assortment of needle tins rattling round inside the horn.

As I was leaving with my prize, the porter called out after me "don't forget the typewriter!"

"Typewriter? What typewriter?"

Next to the Alba stood an ancient Royal typewriter with a heavy cast iron chassis and bevelled glass panels in the sides. I had failed to notice that it bore the same Lot Number, and was therefore included in the sale.

Fortunately I made contact with a collector of typewriters (no eBay in those days) who was happy to take it off my hands for what I had paid for it.

I now refer to this incident as my "Gramophone and Typewriter Moment".

Wow, how times have changed. Looking up current 1-day 1-park non-discounted admission charges I've found that ages 3 to 9 cost $74.00 each!

$4.75 in 1955 is equal to $40.67 today....crazy

That junior ticket book would have typically been sold between 1961 and 1965, and was known as the "Jumbo 15."

If you want the specific year, look on the INSIDE of the back cover of the ticket book to where you will find a list of attractions.

Look at the very bottom, in the center you will find a “date code” just to the left of the words “Globe Ticket.” “495” is printed on some books, this is not a date code, it’s a Globe Ticket code.

Date Codes are 3 or 4 digits. They represent the Year then the Month. “May 1976” would be “765” and April 1964 would be “644.” More rare are four digit codes like “October 1966” as “6610.”

As well as stones, dead bugs, spent tapers and other detritis I found a tightly folded child's drawing in the conduit of my EMG. Obviously the huge horn was just crying out to have things mischievously thrown into it.

Just brought home a VV-330 and found a well worn 1926 Standing Liberty quarter in the horn compartment.

First time finding money in a machine.
