Fred Mertz died when William Frawley passed away in 1966. (I appreciate the opportunity at making the first crack at "I Love Lucy").

I do wonder if a name like Fred Mertz helped his business?
LOL - I was hoping someone would pick up on that name

Thanks. I don't think I've seen that type before.


I found the set at Broadway Treasure Hunt. It's a crazy place and I plan on going back to poke around some more. They have lots of 50s-70s pop culture stuff.
