(Disneyland, 1979) A special looping magnetic tape from the Market House on Main Street. Sponsored by Swift's Premium Meats from 1955-1970, the kitchen store included old-fashioned phones that played a looped recording of turn-of-the-century party line conversations. When the Market House became a Starbucks Coffee in 2013, the party line phones survived. This cartridge dated July 2, 1979, was used to play the recording at that time, and retains the name "Swift" nine years after the company dropped sponsorship. Measuring 3.25" x 3.25", the cartridge is unplayed but displays in good condition, with wear from Park use and oxidation from age.
