DescriptionIn the summer of 1956 while appearing on the Steel Pier, Frank Sinatra became frustrated with the lack of a clock backstage. The morning after an evening performance, Frank sent one of his entourage to a local Atlantic City thrift store. The clock seen here was the result of that shopping trip. It hung on the wall backstage at the Steel Pier for years.
