It’s Not The Happy Dancing Feet BUT….

...it's the next best thing an Anchor Lounge keychain I've lived here since 1962 I’d never heard of such a thing. It’s completely metal AND it’s also a dime holder you slip the dimes into the back of it. I guess it was in case you got too drunk to get home you could call but where would a phone booth be? This has got to be before my time & there weren’t even phone booths on 5th Ave back then. Maybe you used the change for another drink & just pass out in the parking lot. I remember the Anchor had a wood dance floor & the whole place would rumble from all the dancing. And the men's rest room floor too, seems everyone had a bad aim it was a little like walking along the shore edge but you couldn’t keep your shoes dry………
Anyone know of or have a picture of the happy dancing feet on the Anchor?

There absolutely were phone booths on 5th. A whole row of them right under the phone co. steps and next door to Vic's shoe repair!
