    My Vintage Radio Collection

    This is the pre-restoration shot of my 1950's Hallicrafters TW-1000A Short Wave. Now it goes to Tom's Antique Radio Repair in Dayton, Ohio. He does magic... I can't wait to get it back and spend all night listening to the "numbers" station.

    Loungers' Pets

    No time and no inclination to take pictures... shortly after dark last week, a dreadful shriek and barking, then the smell. Both my dogs got skunked in the face. Were they (and me) miserable. Three baths under the hose and a fourth in the bathtub barely dented the smell. It's gotten better...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I don't recall what I was listening to, but my ears perked up when I heard mention of it only costing a "sawbuck". I'd rather have a sawbuck than a "fin".

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    Wife and I have bounced between victorian styles to mid-century and have now settled in the 30's/40's. We met 30+ years ago at a polka party. I was the only guy that could polka.

    You Know You Live in a Small(ish) Town When...

    I was warned to watch for the tumble weed the size of Volkswagens on Lubbock's main street. BTW... I really enjoyed the Buddy Holly Museum.

    Bowling and Leagues

    I wish I caught this thread earlier. We're new to Nashville and my wife - bowling is in her DNA - looked for a league. How about 52 lanes and no strobes or super loud music??? Its normal entertainment. We bowl together once a week - $1/person/game. Unlimited coffee - $1. Its nice to see...

    What to do with memorabilia?

    First background... my father passed about 10 years ago. He was a WW II vet; 82nd Airborne Glider Infantry. During his time overseas, his sister collected any newspaper articles that referenced gliders, the 82nd., or major European battles. There's even a newspaper picture with a classic...

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    I've had this broadside for a very long time... its he real deal. I picked up several when I was working with the North Carolina State Health Department back in the 70"s. I thought it might be appropriate in this thread.

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Not that long ago I crashed a Dewers scotch tasting in Philadelphia. I was the "designated dad" for several 20-something Penn and Drexel medicine and law students that worked for me. Think back-room of a popular bar and populate it with a half-dozen of the Dewers equivalent of the Miller Beer...

    Indianapolis: A Vintagey Place to Live

    You need to check out Doc's Architectural Salvage (http://docsarchitecturalsalvage.com) on 30th Street. Very sketchy neighborhood and Doc's been telling me he's moving for years... but was there last time I talked with him. He opened another warehouse in Springfield TN, off I-65 just south of...

    What Have You Acquired From Family?

    This pitcher has been in the family for a while and has now made its way to me. Its Ditmar Pottery from 1918-1921 - a few years too early to be collectible, i.e. be worth anything. Who cares, I guess. I like it. The writing says: To him who loved a pretty girl; drink beer, be happy. Seems...

    Show us your weird and unusual stuff.

    Here's one of my favorites... this small Japanese study of the human skull dates from the Meiji Period pre-1900. Its either lead or another soft alloy.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When I was in grad school, the state health director in North Carolina gave a lecture on traffic fatalities. Among the top were cases when a car rounded a corner or came over a hill and rear-ended a tractor pulling a trailer of tobacco leaf. Or when blowing past them on the left, they crank a...

    Oh, like I watch BBC. I can't figure out whether its like FOX or CNN, but I sure do like the way they talk.

    Royal Head

    Boy am I confused - it's a real hat. So I revert to my original post. You guys could tell me anything and I'd believe it. Gullible, I guess. I couldn't find it on on the Christy's site. But I'm hearing it on the internet, so...

    Royal Head

    Ahhhh, now I get it. This is like the disposable hair net things or scrub bonnets we wear in kitchens. Now I understand the style. If that's what you're saying, I do like the style. I wonder what the import market would look like in the US. Begs the next question... you get the Daily Mail in...
