I am glad NBC studio saved these high quality still images of S&S that was shot during taping. A rare treat for fan of the show

Ooh, I'm glad you found that stash! Thanks!

Pics like the one below, shot on location are quite fascinating. This one in particular shows the United States Post Office sign prop, fence and some other junk used on the studio set.

And what have we here in Lamont's fragile and valuable curio cabinet?

Right next to Fred's hand is the little lamb from the Meissen Period, Kaendler-inspired porcelain statue!

Most of the base is still intact, but the shepherdess is missing.

Copies of the full, unbroken prop turn up in several places in the first couple of seasons. See if you can spot them!

Yep. Ray Charles and Orson Welles were fans of Redd's comedy and, coincidentally, about to do the Carson show in the studio adjacent while the Sanford crew was in rehearsal.

Photos from another star of the show, the Red Truck currently owned by BlueLine Classic in North Royalton, Ohio (last photo).

Okay, this one slipped by me all these years. Fred has multiple copies of the Kaendler porcelain statue in pieces in the front room in the first few seasons, but this one at the pawn shop is completely intact!
