- Woman-Shaped Toothbrush: This toothbrush was found by Ron Kelley, in 1985, when he moved into an apartment at 520 E. 11th. St. NYC. Several years later Ron left the city for Southern Vermont. During the spring of 1990, his wife discovered the toothbrush lolling about on his desk. It surprised her. A lively conversation ensued. Since that conversation, this toothbrush was removed from Ron’s desk and brought down to the tool section in their basement where it languished for 24 years until it was resurrected for this exhibit.
