    My Finest ART DECO Item

    Nice. I saw the exact same lamp in a local antiques place here that I can get for about $250. Needs a cord though to be safe, but it has the original deco glass. If I get it, I'll post a pic.

    Montgomery Ward (Windward) Motorcycle Jacket History 1947-1963

    Cool. I just wish I had a time machine and enough old money to go back and score a few of these. I had something like this when I was a lad of about 9 or 10. EXTRA small I guess as it fit me quite nicely. One thing I've always wondered about is the "general's" stars on the epaulets. I think my...

    Do women hate men's hats?

    My father was born in 1920 and also "Golden Era" I suppose, however he never wore a hat of any kind that I recall. Certainly not a dress fedora. Maybe a winter hat with ear flaps for shoveling snow, etc. He was just not into fashion, but very down to earth and practical. He didn't even own an...

    PORTIS PATH

    was lucky enough to score another Portis the other day. 1950 vintage I think, a "New Slant" model with original price tag of 5 bucks. In great condition for being almost 70 years old. An Ebay flip hat soon as I get pics and a bit more info if possible. :-)

    Forward Time Travel

    Hmm. "side time". Makes me think of quantum physics and the endless possible futures there are dependent upon our current thoughts, deeds, and words. My brain hurts.

    I need HELP Cigarette Stench is Killing Me!!!

    In the game late here, but has anyone tried activated charcoal to remove objectionable odors? I went to pump some gas into my car a few years back and some lout had left the nozzle locked open. Doused my new shoes with awful stinking gas. I was not amused to say the least. So I did a bit of...

    Hat dating

    I had a John B. Stetson derby from about 1915 or so with that type of label.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Manos,..The Hands of Fate" on Mystery Science Theater 3000. One of the most awful films ever produced. :eek: But hilarious. The last serious film I watched though was quite good. "Flame and Citron" about the real life fight of the Danish resistance against Nazi occupation.

    PORTIS PATH

    Portis hats were top quality. Many had non-typical ribbon treatments and other nice details. Very under-rated it seems, but competition between the big hat makers was pretty fierce so I think the bigger companies dominated the markets by advertising more.

    The Mighty Eighth: New $500M HBO series from Spielberg/Hanks

    Amazing! The toll was very extremely high especially during the first two years or so. They had no long range fighter escorts early on, and were flying over Germany in broad daylight! This is a must see series for sure. :)

    Blacksmithing

    Same here. I heard that my great grandfather from Bohemia was a blacksmith. He passed a little knowledge to my grandfather I think, but he was a shopkeeper that I hardly knew.

    New: Fedora Lounge Artisans

    Great idea, this. :) I am a lifelong artist, working primarily with oils. Pet portraits is just one thing I do, and I think it might go over well here. Is this a service which might be in demand?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Revenant, and Deliverance. Both solid guy films. :rolleyes:

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Been watching Spartacus. Roman decadence with CGI.

    Show us your Guns!

    Yes Renault, I have my eye on a sweet 1960's Winchester Model 70 with a scope. And for a fair price for once. :D

    Windows10, anyone having probs after downloading it ?????

    I have the notice too. That it's been downloaded and it's ready to go. I'm "good to go" according to the little window, but each time i try to finally install it, I get the little spinning disc thing interminably. It just spins and spins and spins around down there for hours. I have a lot of...

    Show us your Guns!

    Thanks for the tips guys, I'll be checking out a hot local pawn shop here in town that sells a lot of new and used guns. :) Cabela's has their "Gun Library" here too, but the selection is limited and prices outrageous more often than not.

    Show us your Guns!

    I couldn't agree more. I have an 85 year old Mosin Nagant that I love. Also a .32 Colt pocket pistol about the same age that belonged to my grandpa. My new fangled M and P 9 however, has given me nothing but headaches! Failure to feed in all 3 of the magazines I have for it, causing a...

    What Games Amuse you

    Wow. Too many to count. Chess I think would be my number one. But there are SO many Milton Bradley and Parker Bros. games such as Stratego, Dogfight, Rook, Risk, Monopoly, etc. The 3-M bookshelf games were cool too. Twixt is still a favorite. Easy to learn, yet often resulting in some intense...

    If You Could Meet The Original Owner

    I own several old unsigned oil paintings executed in the 18th and 19th centuries. All quite professionally done, although in need of some restoration which is one reason why I purchased them. I would love to converse with the artists that painted them.
