| 2023.653.3143 | Carrie Richardson Folding Bed |
|
| This bed was a feature of the schooner ‘Carrie M. Richardson’ and was used by the ship's namesake, celestial navigator and later owner Carrie Stanley Richardson. Island legend has it that Carrie didn’t like to sleep in the bunks as the rest of the sailors did and so when the schooner was stopped at a dock, she went hunting and found this unusual folding bed. After she passed away, it was left in the boathouse at the Lew Stanley boatyard. Bob LaHotan-who co owned the boatyard with John Heliker-would sleep in the very same bed! |

| 2000.352.2117 | Antique telephone with wooden box and hand crank |
|
| Telephone, antique, wooden box with hand crank, with metal handset and base attached by cord. This type of telephone would have been in use before direct dial in 1952.

You paid for every call, but if you wanted to "cheat" you could set up a time with the person you're calling and then just do one quick ring to get him. (Memories by Mickey Macfarlan.) |
