Tag Archives: Crosley Radios and TV’s

Take a look at this #ThrowbackThursday display!

This week’s highlight is a 8″ x 10″ black and white acetate negative featuring two women standing on a stage with eight refrigerators. The doors of the refrigerators are open, and there is a banner hanging behind that reads: “Crosley Radio, Televisions, Appliances”. This image was taken for Crosley Radios and TV’s, located in Omaha, Nebraska.

This image is published and owned by the The Durham Museum. The William Wentworth Collection at The Durham Museum consists of 4663 negatives of images that document life in Omaha, Nebraska from 1934 through 1950. William Wentworth worked as both a freelancer and a commercial photographer, providing a unique view of architecture, businesses, and community life in Omaha.
