Author Topic: Just Found an Old IATSE officer election Card Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-28-2009 07:35 PM                     I just found an old union election card stuck under the cardboard in an equally old film can. The card touts the electability of Geo. J. Schaffer for 7th v.p. of L.A. local 150. It has a picture of Mr. Shaffer. Anybody know how old this card might be? The back has a film footage/time chart.  |  IP: Logged Robert E.

My home local was 577 in San Bernardino. (I'm sure that info will help you sleep better tonight.)  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-28-2009 09:30 PM                     Thanks, Robert, history is always interesting. I find it fascinating when faces and names show up when least expected. The can is one of those very heavy ones with the cardboard lining. The card, judging from the suit and tie and stern pose is possibly from the '30s.  |  IP: Logged Bob Koch Expert Film Handler Posts: 183 From: williams ca Registered: Nov 2001 posted 07-29-2009 04:03 PM                     George Schaffer[spelling] was BA in local 150 in the fifties. I attended an IA convention in St Louis in 1956 . He was there.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-02-2009 02:01 PM                       Hey, Bill.. can you post a scan of it?  |  IP: Logged
