Yesterday's post Name That Photo - Where & What? Showed this photo:

 And we didn't have any guesses that came close!

A cage elevator in the lobby hand-operated by an attendant is a throwback to the past.

 It's the elevator in the lobby of the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego! Seen in The comedy film "Some Like It Hot," starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

 

 L. Frank Baum, the author of "The Wizard of Oz" books, was a frequent guest of the Hotel del Coronado and designed the crown-shaped chandeliers in the hotel's formal dining room. Other guests included England's Prince of Wales (who may have met his legendary love, Wallis Simpson, there), and a list of movie stars too numerous to mention.

Good one Liz - I was way off.  I wouldn't have guessed this one correctly.

Liz, Great test.  I wouldn't have gotten it either.  There was a magazine that used to show a photo of something familiar close up for readers to guess.  It was always fun to try and figure out.

As usual I'm late getting to the party. Not sure if I would have guessed right, though.

Happy end of year!

You know I've never seen one of those in person, just on television and in the movies.  Interesting photo.  Next time I visit my mom in law I think I'm going to see this elevator too.

Liz, I would have never even had a guess to come close to what it was.  I remember watching Some Like It Hot as a kid.  Great movie and beautiful hotel.

I love that film, but I never would have gotten that. That is really cool! Somewhere I have a photo of the chair James Bond sat in while in the Hong Kong Restaurant "The Bottoms Up Bar"
