Tama Starr loved the image of Seely Shoulder Shapes and bought it. As I signed the photo for her, she signed her book for me:

Frank Jump! It’s always a good sign to meet a new friend. Best wishes always, Tama Starr 7/14/00

I believe this image still hangs in Tama Starr’s office.

CROWN COAT FRONTS

This collection of signs still overlooks the northeast corner of Union Square atop the New York Film Academy. I was fortunate enough to have been allowed on the roof by my friend Michael J. Young, who is now the provost, director of education at NYFA. Grutchfield provided the following background information about the Crown Coat Front Company, as well as additional information gleaned from archival photographs:

Crown Coat Front was located at 105 E. 16 St. from 1947 to 1957/58. A coat front is defined by George E. Linton…as “Trade term for a built-up stiffening or shape-retaining interlining for the fronts of coats, made of stitched layers of haircloth, felt and canvas.” A few details have been lost and the color is considerably faded. Frank Jump has a nice photograph of Crown Coat Front and the Carl Fischer Musical Instruments sign next to it on his website.
