In the episode LUCY GOES TO THE HOSPITAL which aired January 19, 1953 the show opens with Ricky researching ideas for a mask for a “Voodoo” number for his show. The book he refers to is Masks of West Africa – 1952 by Leon Underwood

Update: Scan of the page from the book Ricky is looking at:
Ha! I was researching this myself about a week ago and while I got close, did not find. Terrific job!
Thanks – I had to enlarge the screen capture to see the full title
Just tonight I was watching an episode of I love Lucy adn decided to see if I could find some of the items in their apt online, like the Chinese Statues and the Oil and Vinegar Ceramic. I found somethings and then I thought, I bet you someone has already done this and I found your site. Well done and way better than I would have done. Thanks so much. I look forward to more postings.
Hi Krissy, I’m glad you enjoyed the site – There’s still lots more to look for so If you find anything I’m missing do let me know
