The Almanac Hotel at Broadway & 71st Street was probably the first in the country to use young women as bellhops. Hotel customers said they gave “real service,” too. Here are three of them standing by while a patron registers, left to right: Eleanor Julin, Mildred Wilson and Edith Gillin, November 13, 1929.

Mechanical Monkey Bellhop On A Velocipede

Monkey is an exceptional example of a Fadap Coaster Toy made between 1914 and 1920. He is made from art silk in two colours, red and brown. He has glass eyes and arms and legs which are jointed for quad bike riding! Also his lovely felt is original. He has a typical Fadap carriage and felt pads and feet. He is quite a find. He drives a velocipede and when it rolls, he moves back and forth.

I never noticed that the host and hostess coats opened opposite ways before!

While we’re on the subject of bellhops, here’s a video about them that the official Disney Parks YouTube posted in October 2012:

And while we’re on the subject of cast member uniforms, here’s some preview art of the CM uniforms for the GOTG Tower, designed by Walt Disney Imagineering Associate Costume Designer Christine Burchett, according to the Micechat post that released the image:

I actually think the GOTG costumes are quite stylish.  They’re certainly the nicest-looking design to come out of this remodel mess so far.
