In 1953, a time capsule was created in Las Vegas to preserve American show business artifacts for future generations. Assisted by notable figures like Luella Parsons and Pat Crowley, the capsule included items such as Bing Crosby's pipe, Sugar Ray Robinson's boxing gloves, and memorabilia from Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. The capsule was partially buried, with the hope that it would be unearthed and studied 100 years later.
