UPCOMING MUSEUM ARTIFACTS!
RCA Tube Caddy (1950s)
Folks, this is a super collectible museum-grade 1950s RCA tube treasure box… and it’s very special!
Back in 1920s and early 1930s; RCA distributed the WORLD’s very first commercial theremin. These instruments featured RCA TUBES.
This rare RCA Hamilton company (?) cabby is stacked with vintage tubes, hand-written technician service notes from the mid-20th century… AND MORE; this is a true time capsule!
Not only is this tube caddy for RCA technicians during the 1950s, but it might have active & used during the time RCA was transitioning from radio to TV tubes; making this artifact an extremely important piece of history!
The specific caddy featured here was only produced from 1950-1952. Features a plastic/Bakelite handle (little to no damage), painted on “RCA Picture Tubes for Premium Performance” + “We Use RCA Tubes” on the exterior (in great shape) AND even some left over tools a technician might have used servicing radios and TVs back in the mid-20th century!
Be sure to follow the museum pages via social media for instant updates on new artifacts coming in!
1995 Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey 24mm Film Slide
A Lucky Find!
In early 2025, I found this treasure piece of theremin film history for sale on eBay. I had to grab it and when I came in the mail I was amazed how vibrant the 24mm film looked under bright light!
I would assume it was used for promoting the Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey documentary in the mid-1990s.

1940s Lucie Rosen Poster and Newspaper Clippings
ADVERTISING!
I have also collected to what I believe are original thereminist Lucie Rosen posters and newspaper clippings from the mid-20th century.
These include information about her up and coming theremin recitals from the 1940s!
