Other Props • Nuclear Bomb in Ghostbusters II?

One of the props on display in the John Zabrucky exhibition in Ohio (as I covered here) is a "Programmable Miniature Atomic Bomb". The Medici Museum said on social media that it featured in Ghostbusters II but I don't recognise it. I even went through the film (every possible scene I could find with background props) but I couldn't see it anywhere. I thought maybe I'd find it sitting on a shelf in Egon's lab, or plugged into a device inside the Statue of Liberty, but no such luck. So I assumed that the Medici Museum's social media person just got their wires crossed, until I saw that the plaque beside the prop also says the same thing.

Here's what it looks like:



I came across this Reddit thread from someone who visited the museum, and wanted to know which Grey's Anatomy episode it featured in:

Here's a clear shot of the plaque mentioning Ghostbusters II:


I'm stumped on this one. Maybe the plaque is wrong, maybe John incorrectly recalls renting it out to the GB2 production (it was a long time ago and he rented them a huge number of props). Or maybe it's been there the whole time and we've never noticed.

Any suggestions?

(Funnily enough the Grey's Anatomy fans have no idea which episode the bomb is in either )
