Our own vintage town
Yes, that sign will be posted. I believe that I was going to have the corner on the soda fountain racket in town... But, maybe we could assemble a group of lawmen kind of like the untouchables to keep the town and streets clean of free loaders! I think I'd like to be the head of the war against...- Forgotten Man

This "sucks"... the Hoover And Other Vintage Vacuum Cleaners
Near original condition. To me, I see some updated parts. The bag is an early replacement, from the early 30s. The handle is same they used on the 575's. The true 700's had a separate aluminum and black plastic handle grip that attached to the shaft. The original bag would have been all black...- Forgotten Man

Not Like New... Like Vintage!
Well, I know it's different for many here but, for my self I'm a die hard vintage collector and have been at it for over 12 years. For me it's dialing in to a period, wearing the original stuff kind of puts you there if you know what I mean. It's a form of time travel for me. For it to make...- Forgotten Man

What are you listening to?
Darn, I wish I was over there... good taste in music as always! Right now I'm enjoying the sound of silence after a very loud and obnoxious morning of gardening tools, garbage trucks and our neighbor down the street's rooster that crows as the day is long.:eusa_doh:- Forgotten Man

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Great movie, I have it... Love the entire cast and the sets are amazing! Last night the lady and I watched a film she picked out... A very unique 1983 film called POLYESTER staring Divine... lol Strange film... as most early 80s films are. It's one of those that you just have to laugh at...- Forgotten Man

90's Swing Book
Didn't like it... the whole book says: We like the fashion of the era but, not the era to insinuate that everyone then were racists and homo-fobs. It's like trying to hot rod the era... No thanks.- Forgotten Man

People wanted to see the coat, I didn't ask as to how well it fit. Just wanted to share a fancy back... not trying to show off, just sharing my glee in finding one long enough for me. Photos were removed and I will keep them for my self. I give up.- Forgotten Man

FINALLY!!!
Well the real problem is with how an early 30s coat would fit. So many expect all coats to fit like modern ones or should be long as modern coats. In all the movies and photos I've seen from the 30s, most coats fit short... some times the sleeves are as long as the length of the coat. And of...- Forgotten Man

Yeah, always makin' an observation... I'm sorry but you probably don't really understand how many comments I get by fellow clothes collectors that before they even greet me they'll look me over and point out what's wrong in the fit of my clothes.

The GE Monitor Top a classic kitchen icon.
It's really interesting, this friend of mine has one of the only books that mention and show how to repair a TYPE CA. It has pictures and everything. He mentioned that it's just a matter of finding the gas to recharge it with. If I find another top for this machine before he finds a source...- Forgotten Man

The GE Monitor Top a classic kitchen icon.
Well, contacted a nice young guy here in So Cal that is learning just about all there is to know about Monitor Tops. So much so, he has repair books and a very simple start to collecting the machines. He came over and we tried to bleed the lines in the top... by heating a pot of water and...- Forgotten Man
