The Safe House: Exploring Dexter Ingram’s Private Collection of Spy Artifacts
French spy stamps, Josephine Baker, and a radio hiding in plain sight

Three objects. One operation. None of them look like what they are.
French spy stamps. A 1943 program from Josephine Baker's performance in Tunis – sponsored by Charles de Gaulle to raise money for the French Resistance. And a one-way radio disguised as a picture frame, her photograph in the front. This short video from the International Spy Museum is me walking through a few of these items and what they mean. A good place to start with The Collection.
